Park Jun-hee, Mayor of Gwanak-gu, who has consistently practiced communication-based administration with residents since the 7th elected term, visited various local sites and listened attentively to the vivid voices of residents to realize the implementation of ‘Icheongdeuksim (以聽得心) Administration’ on the occasion of the 1st anniversary of the 8th elected term.

On the 3rd, Mayor Park started his first workday of the 8th elected term early in the morning by collecting recyclables together with environmental officers. Despite the high temperatures exceeding 30°C daily, he expressed gratitude and encouragement to the environmental officers who are working hard to maintain a clean living environment for residents.

At 9:30 a.m., he took time to reflect on the achievements so far with all the staff of Gwanak-gu Office.

Mayor Park praised the efforts of the Gwanak-gu Office employees who devoted themselves to overcoming numerous challenges such as COVID-19 and flood damage, ensuring that the district’s key policies deeply take root in residents’ lives. He pledged to continue creating a ‘Together, the Best Gwanak-gu’ where all residents can be happy.

At 11:30 a.m., he visited the Gwanak Senior Welfare Center and personally participated in meal service volunteering for the elderly. Promising to do his best as a filial mayor so that seniors can enjoy a lively and healthy old age, he listened carefully to each senior’s voice.

Mayor Park also did not neglect resident safety. At 2:30 p.m., he visited flood response sites including landslide recovery, installation of flood barriers and operable security windows, as well as major construction sites such as the Sillim-Bongcheon Tunnel and Namhyeon Small Park public parking lot, carefully inspecting progress and urging safety.

He emphasized the safety of on-site workers and residents, saying, “Nothing is more important than safety management. I ask for special attention to ensure that not a single safety accident occurs until the construction is completed.”

Mayor Park’s on-site activities continued into the evening. At 6 p.m., he attended the Gwanak S Valley Startup Networking Day ‘Gwanak S Night’ held at Gwanak Youth Center, freely communicating with about 100 stakeholders including startup founders in Gwanak S Valley.

In particular, he had a discussion with one representative of a resident company as a ‘representative-to-representative’ on the theme of ‘The Vision of Gwanak S Valley Five Years from Now,’ listening carefully to the valuable opinions of resident companies for the continuous growth of Gwanak S Valley and promising to do his best to support them.

Mayor Park Jun-hee said, “Looking back on the past five years of intense efforts, I feel a mix of emotions. We will proactively respond to ongoing economic crises and carefully take care of socially vulnerable groups. Going forward, we will continue to prioritize communication and cooperation as core values and strive to achieve remarkable results. Once again, I will engrave my initial resolve in my heart and keep every promise made to the residents during the remaining term.”
