Urged Commitment and Passion to Realize the Vision of ‘Field-Centered, People-Centered, and Happier Together Seongbuk’

In the Remaining Period of the 8th Term, ‘All Problems Are on the Field, and All Answers Are Also on the Field’

Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Seungro Lee) held a regular staff assembly marking the first year since the launch of the 8th term of local government.

The regular assembly held on the 7th at the district office’s multipurpose hall was attended by Mayor Seungro Lee and about 200 senior public officials. The rest of the public officials also participated online.

Mayor Seungro Lee of Seongbuk-gu said, “Looking back on the past year, it was a time of constant effort and busy activity toward the vision for Seongbuk’s next 100 years, listening closely to the voices of residents on the ground and based on their expectations and needs.”

Seongbuk-gu has made efforts over the past year to actively solve residents’ life issues by challenging changes without settling for the status quo or being bound by long-standing customs or frameworks. These efforts include introducing a new format of on-site mayor’s office called ‘TALK, Let’s Speak Openly,’ where frank opinions are exchanged on themed agendas; launching the ‘Direct Text Service to the Mayor’ that allows anyone to easily report inconveniences; issuing ‘Seongbuk Love Gift Certificates’ worth a total of 61 billion KRW to revitalize the local economy; and implementing the ‘1,000 Won Breakfast’ project, the first of its kind in Seoul, providing a hearty breakfast to university students.

These efforts bore fruit when Seongbuk-gu achieved the highest grade, SA, in the evaluation of local government mayors’ pledge implementation plans nationwide in April during the 8th term.

Mayor Seungro Lee expressed his gratitude to all Seongbuk-gu staff, saying, “The 8th term has always carried the heavy responsibility of creating a better life for Seongbuk residents than the 7th term, but thanks to the strong support of about 1,600 Seongbuk public officials who became a reliable backbone, I was able to carry out the district administration with conviction.”

Finally, Mayor Lee urged, “Like the saying iljinwolbo (日進月步, meaning daily progress and monthly advancement), please work hard for a Seongbuk-gu that advances day by day and develops month by month.”
