Seoul District Office Officials Praising Snowy Seollal Likely to Be Great Support for Each Other

Kim Hye-jeong, Eunpyeong-gu Deputy Mayor, and Im Dong-guk, Songpa-gu Deputy Mayor, Receive Positive Employee Reviews One Month After Appointment; Lunar New Year Well-Wishes Expected to Be a Great Encouragement

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] On the morning of January 1st, the Lunar New Year's Day of the Year of the Tiger, light snow falls.

The national holiday of Seollal makes the mood even better.

However, when it snows, public officials cannot be entirely happy. They have to worry about the residents' mobility.

Public officials in Seoul's autonomous districts are also working on this day, sweeping the roads they are responsible for.

Of course, only those public officials assigned to snow removal among all the Seoul district office employees are out sweating on this day.

However, even employees working from home do not seem at ease.

Kim Hye-jung, Deputy Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, said in a phone interview with the reporter on this day, "I am monitoring the snow removal situation in real time online."

Although at home, her mind is worried about whether the residents are inconvenienced.

If the Deputy Mayor feels this way, how much more must the elected Mayor Kim Mi-kyung of Eunpyeong-gu feel?

Deputy Mayor Kim was appointed as Deputy Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu on January 1st of this year, and one month has passed. She said, "Now that it has been a month, I have grasped the work to some extent and have somewhat adapted," and added, "The staff are sincere and nice."

Im Eun-kyung, head of the press team, also said, "Deputy Mayor Kim Hye-jung has a good personality and makes quick work judgments, which I appreciate."

Eunpyeong-gu had Deputy Mayor Lim Dong-guk previously, who was promoted to Grade 2 and moved to become Deputy Mayor of Songpa-gu, and then Deputy Mayor Kim came.

Former Deputy Mayor Lim Dong-guk was also well regarded for his consideration of the staff during his tenure.

Mayor Kim Mi-kyung of Eunpyeong-gu expressed regret when sending off former Deputy Mayor Lim, saying, "He is such a good person that I did not want to let him go, but since he was promoted, how could I hold him back?"

Songpa-gu employees also showed a good response to Deputy Mayor Lim Dong-guk, who took office there. Deputy Mayor Lim said, "It has been a month of diligently visiting sites after receiving work reports," and added, "I have now grasped the major issues to some extent."

Deputy Mayor Lim also went to the office the day before to work.

Lee Sun-hee, Public Relations Officer, said in a phone interview with the reporter on this day, "Since Deputy Mayor Lim took office, he has worked hard and communicated well with the staff, which is very good." She added, "The previous Deputy Mayor Ha Cheol-seung also maintained good relations with the staff, and Deputy Mayor Lim Dong-guk is also a good person."

Such compliments, like New Year's greetings, are expected to be a great encouragement to the public officials working together throughout the year.
