Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon urged newly appointed public officials to "bring a fresh breeze to their respective organizations."

On the 2nd, Governor Kim Dong-yeon held the '031 The FIRST DAY' event at the Gyeonggi Provincial Office to congratulate 47 new public officials on their appointment and presented them with their appointment certificates.

At the event, Governor Kim said, "While we should respect and follow the good traditions and culture of the public service, I hope you break any organizational cultures or practices that are undesirable in the eyes of residents and citizens. I believe in your spirit, boldness, and challenges. Please do not forget your individuality and go to your respective organizations to bring a fresh breeze."

He added, "You must have entered public service after overcoming difficult competition through a challenging process, and along with your expectations and enthusiasm, you might also have concerns. I hope you shake off those worries and that each of your days is joyful and happy."

The 47 new public officials consist of 7 Grade 7 officials, 31 Grade 9 officials, 8 research guidance positions, and 1 professional career official, representing various job series and ranks.

The event name '031' was derived from the Gyeonggi area code '031' and means 'the first day (1) of starting (3) the life of a public official (0)'.

The day’s event, attended by family, friends, and senior public officials, began with an orientation on building guidance, followed by watching videos filmed by the new employees themselves, the appointment certificate ceremony, reading letters of gratitude to their families, and a communication session with the governor.

Governor Kim Dong-yeon personally hung the public official ID badges around the necks of the new officials, offering words of encouragement and congratulations.

Gyeonggi Province provided a '031 package' consisting of office supplies necessary for work to help new public officials adapt quickly and foster pride.

Meanwhile, when asked by the new officials about "tips for using social networking services (SNS)" and "the governor’s vision," Governor Kim replied, "(The SNS tip) is to consider the other person's perspective and sincerity. Sincerity seems to be the most important thing." Regarding his vision, he emphasized, "I want to change Gyeonggi Province to change the Republic of Korea. I want Gyeonggi to do so well that not only other cities and provinces but also the central government follow our lead."
