This 'Mobile National Sinmungo' is organized by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, an agency under the Prime Minister's Office responsible for handling complaints, anti-corruption, administrative appeals, and institutional improvement.

Eighteen professional investigators from the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, each specializing in different fields, will visit Gijang County in person to provide direct consultations on residents' daily grievances and difficulties, and to encourage resolution through mediation between the parties involved.

In particular, not only matters under the jurisdiction of Gijang County, but also issues related to central administrative agencies and other public institutions can be addressed in a one-stop consultation, allowing residents to resolve difficult grievances without the inconvenience of visiting multiple offices.

The main areas covered include administration, culture, education, national defense, veterans' affairs, police, finance, taxation, welfare, labor, broadcasting, communications, industry, agriculture and forestry, environment, maritime affairs, housing and architecture, urban affairs, water resources, and transportation and roads. In fact, virtually all fields are addressed, targeting grievances related to the responsibilities of central agencies, public institutions, and local governments.

Additionally, the Korea Legal Aid Corporation, Korea Consumer Agency, Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation, and Korea Inclusive Finance Agency will participate as partner organizations to provide consultations on social welfare, daily legal issues, consumer damage, cadastral matters, and inclusive finance.

Residents who wish to receive a consultation can fill out and submit a reservation form at their local township administrative welfare center or the relevant department at Gijang County Office by May 29. Alternatively, they can visit the Civil Defense Education Center on the first basement floor of Gijang County Office on June 12 without a reservation and apply for consultation on site.

County Governor Jeong Jongbok said, "I hope many residents will participate in this National Sinmungo event and use it as an opportunity to resolve various grievances," adding, "We will continue to prepare diverse measures to address residents' difficulties and concerns in the future."
