The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Labor Union announced on the 10th that Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Noh Hyung-wook has received positive evaluations from employees for leading the organization stably since his inauguration and contributing to national development.

On the same day, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Labor Union announced the exemplary leaders of the ministry and disclosed the evaluation results of the institution's operation regarding Minister Noh. In a survey conducted over two weeks via the intranet by the labor union, Minister Noh received a majority of 'positive' opinions. Approximately 2,700 participants, including public officials, public employees, and dispatched workers, took part in the survey.

The union highly praised Minister Noh, stating, "Last week, in preparation for the frequent heavy snowfall in the Gangwon region, he unusually visited the third-tier affiliated institution (Gangneung Land Management Office Yangyang Branch) to thoroughly oversee snow removal measures and comfort the hardworking employees."

They added, "Minister Noh, a former official of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, was initially met with many concerns and worries about stable organizational management. However, he naturally integrated into the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and received positive evaluations for leading the organization stably through active communication."

On the same day, the labor union also announced the exemplary leaders of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. This year, Choi Im-rak, Deputy Head of the Innovation City Development Promotion Team; Ahn Jeong-hoon, Director of the Cadastral Re-survey Planning Division; Lee Yoon-sang, Director of the Road Bureau; Kim Heon-jeong, Director of Policy Planning; and Jeon Hyung-pil, Director of Logistics Policy, were selected.

From the first-tier affiliated institutions of the Ministry, Sagong Ho-sang, Director of the National Geographic Information Institute; Kim Gyu-hyun, Standing Member of the Presidential Committee on Regional Development; and Lee Yong-wook, Director of the Iksan Land Management Office were chosen. From the second-tier affiliated institutions, Kim Eun-soo, Director of the Namwon Land Management Office; Choi Soo-kwan, Director of the Suncheon Land Management Office; and Park Byung-ik, Director of the Yeongju Land Management Office were selected.

The labor union explained the exemplary leader evaluation, saying, "It is expected to contribute to establishing a leadership model that employees want to work with and fostering a healthy workplace culture through a bottom-up evaluation of senior public officials responsible for land and transportation policies," and added, "for managers lacking basic qualities or comprehensive capabilities as leaders, the results will be separately reported to the Minister and Vice Minister."
