Jongno-gu Launches 'Anti-Corruption and Integrity Promotion Team'... Leading Integrity in Jongno

Establishing a Foundation for Promoting Integrity Policies and Sharing Improvement Plans for Corruption-Prone Areas and Integrity Enhancement through Monthly Regular Meetings

Senior Officials Take the Lead in Presenting Key Policies and Discussing Improvement Measures

Jongno-gu (District Mayor Jeong Munheon) has formed the 'Jongno-gu Anti-Corruption and Integrity Promotion Team' (hereafter Promotion Team) and held an inaugural ceremony along with an integrity enhancement meeting on the 19th to create a trustworthy and integrity-driven Jongno for its residents.

The Promotion Team is composed of the District Mayor as the team leader, the Deputy District Mayor as the deputy leader, and bureau and office heads as section chiefs, and plans to secure the foundation and momentum for integrity policies through monthly regular meetings.

Furthermore, the team aims to serve as a driving force in building an honest Jongno by sharing diverse opinions on improving corruption-prone areas and enhancing integrity, based on communication and empathy.

At the meeting, senior officials presented key integrity policies for improving Jongno-gu’s integrity and took time to discuss improvement measures.

Since the launch of the 8th local government administration last year, Jongno-gu has made various efforts to foster a new culture of integrity within the organization.

Representative examples include hosting the 'Integrity Poperra Concert,' which combines culture with the somewhat rigid concept of integrity, and producing an 'Ontact Integrity Video Message' in which District Mayor Jeong Munheon personally emphasizes to internal staff the importance of integrity as the most essential value for public officials.

District Mayor Jeong Munheon stated, “The interest and practical efforts of senior officials regarding integrity can be a crucial factor in determining the institution’s level of integrity,” adding, “We will create an integrity-driven Jongno that residents can truly feel, centered on the Jongno-gu Anti-Corruption and Integrity Promotion Team.”
