#Kim Seung-a, a senior official at the National Statistical Office, created data analyzing 'Changes within 5 years after marriage' based on newlywed couple statistics. This goes a step beyond the annually published newlywed couple statistics. She documented changes over the first 5 years of marriage focusing on economic activity, childbirth, and home ownership, contributing to related policy development.

#Lee Hae-in, a senior official at the Chungcheong Regional Statistical Office Chungju Branch, developed new administrative statistics for Cheongju City's '1-Konomy' and created big data visualization services. It was praised for fitting well with current trends such as low birthrate, aging population, and increase in single-person households. By providing data, she actively supported customized policies for single-person households.

On the 5th, the National Statistical Office selected and awarded the 'Q2 Outstanding Public Officials and Departments for Proactive Administration.' Along with Kim, who received the grand prize, three other public officials were chosen as outstanding proactive public officials. One department was recognized as an outstanding department. Selected outstanding proactive public officials and departments receive incentives such as top-grade performance bonuses and reward leave.

Ryu Geun-gwan, Commissioner of the National Statistical Office, said, "Going forward, the National Statistical Office will continue to discover outstanding cases of proactive administration that the public can feel through spreading a culture of proactive administration within the organization."
