Specifically, Dong-gu has strategically pursued practical measures to improve vulnerable areas through initiatives such as ▲ fostering the youth 'Saebitdeul' group to improve organizational culture ▲ collecting internal stakeholders' opinions via empathy talks and Integrity Golden Bell events ▲ establishing a real-time civil complaint satisfaction survey system ▲ creating the Integrity Dong-gu Promotion Team ▲ operating the Integrity Citizen Auditor program ▲ and conducting exemplary integrity campaigns.

Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, stated, "Integrity is a fundamental quality of public officials and an essential condition to become an institution trusted by residents. We will continue to devote ourselves to fostering a culture of integrity in public service to create a cleaner Dong-gu that residents trust even more."
