[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] On the 17th, Pohang City held the ‘2022 Pohang City Integrity Concert’ at the Pohang Culture and Arts Center Grand Theater.

At the event, the somewhat heavy topic of ‘integrity’ was addressed through various cultural performances such as music, theater, and quizzes to make it easier and more enjoyable, providing a time to pledge to create a clean and honest Pohang.

Through the education on the ‘Conflict of Interest Prevention Act for Public Officials,’ which was implemented on May 19 this year, public officials were introduced to violation cases and response methods focusing on examples in preparation for situations involving private interests during their duties, emphasizing the early establishment of the system.

Employees who participated in the concert said, “Recently, anti-corruption laws such as the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act and the Conflict of Interest Prevention Act have been enacted one after another, so it was difficult at first,” adding, “However, the integrity education conducted through cultural performances like theater and music made it easy and fun to understand the importance of integrity and anti-corruption laws.”

Mayor Kangdeok Lee said, “Integrity is not only a basic quality of public officials but also an indicator representing the image and competitiveness of the nation and society,” and added, “For Pohang City to take a step forward, fostering a culture of integrity is essential, and we will carry out more proactive administration from the citizens’ perspective to achieve this.”
