On the 31st of last month, Pohang City held the Integrity Golden Bell event at the indoor gymnasium of Pohang Sports Complex for the Integrity Friends and all Pohang City employees.

This competition adopted the format of the popular KBS program "Challenge! Golden Bell" and was filled with meaningful moments where participants pondered and derived correct answers about anti-corruption laws and systems, including the Anti-Corruption Act, the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act, the Conflict of Interest Prevention Act, the Code of Conduct for Public Officials, and the values of integrity that public officials must uphold.

Additionally, the event featured a department-versus-department survival quiz, cheerleading, recreational activities, impromptu talent shows, and general knowledge quizzes, fostering natural unity across ranks and generations, enhancing teamwork, and revitalizing the organization.

The ten participants who scored highest in the preliminary round competed fiercely to advance to the finals. For the final round, Deputy Mayor Kim Nam-il personally prepared the questions, and Lim Tae-hyung, an officer from the Investment Enterprise Support Division, was selected as the last remaining contestant and ultimately rang the Golden Bell as the champion.

A participant said, "It was a valuable time spent solving problems and cheering together while reflecting on the value of integrity that all public officials should uphold," adding, "I will actively apply the acquired knowledge of integrity in my actual job duties."

Deputy Mayor Kim Nam-il stated, "We will create a healthy organizational culture that everyone can feel through the value of integrity realized by each individual," and added, "We will implement ethical administration trusted by citizens, spread the culture of integrity, and further strengthen Pohang’s competitiveness in integrity."
