[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Lee Seong-heon, the mayor of Seodaemun District Office, will participate in cleaning site work about 10 times from this month until December this year.

The purpose is to empathize with the hard work of frontline municipal workers, listen to their difficulties, and strengthen communication on site.

As his first schedule, on the 6th of this month, starting from 5 a.m. for about an hour, he will carry out cleaning work together with sanitation workers along a 330-meter section around Sinchon Myeongmul-gil and Yonsei-ro.

Until the end of the year, he will join activities including alley cleaning, public restroom cleaning, fallen leaf cleaning, waste collection, illegal dumping control, snow removal, and cleaning mobile team activities.

It is unusual for a local government head to regularly participate in cleaning site work rather than as a one-time event.

Earlier, on the first day of the 8th term of the elected government, July 1st this year, he visited Inwang Market Road at dawn to encourage sanitation workers and participated in cleaning activities such as sweeping fallen leaves on the streets after heavy rain.

Lee Seong-heon, mayor of Seodaemun District Office, said, “I will work hard to be a help, not a hindrance, to the cleaning work,” and added, “I expect this to be an opportunity to listen to the vivid voices of residents on site and to gain ideas for district administration.”
