On the 2nd, Pohang City’s External Cooperation Office selected six outstanding public officials for their work performance and conducted special promotions (from left: Hwang Ilseop, Kim Jaewoo, Shin Kyungwon, Mayor Lee Kangdeok, Baek Sanghyo, Jung Hyunjung, Hong Wonjin).

The special promotion system grants a one-step salary increase to public officials who have made significant contributions to municipal development through creative and proactive work. This system aims to invigorate the public service culture and enhance competitiveness by providing rewards based on performance.

The recipients of the special promotion are as follows: Hong Wonjin, Grade 6 Administration, for the designation of the Opportunity Development Zone; Jung Hyunjung, Grade 6 Administration, and Shin Kyungwon, Grade 7 Administration, for the selection of the National Advanced Strategic Industry Bio-Specialized Complex; Kim Jaewoo, Grade 6 Facilities, and Hwang Ilseop, Grade 7 Facilities, for the selection of the Global Corporate Innovation Park; and Baek Sanghyo, Grade 8 Social Welfare, for the promotion of the Pohang Memorial Park construction project.

Mayor Lee Kangdeok stated, "I ask that you continue to work hard to attract practical content for each project so that these national projects, which were difficult to secure, can be promoted effectively," and added, "We will strive to create an environment where employees can fully demonstrate their capabilities, so we can bring about a groundbreaking transformation for Pohang's future."

Pohang City was the first in the nation to be selected as a specialized complex in two areas (secondary batteries and bio) of the National Advanced Strategic Industry. In addition, by being designated as an Opportunity Development Zone?a key zone leading the government's local era?and by securing the Corporate Innovation Park, Pohang is taking the lead in realizing a true local era where companies and talent gather.

Furthermore, the city finalized the site for the long-awaited 'Memorial Park' in Guryongpo-eup last June, and is working to create a healing space that goes beyond a simple burial facility, incorporating culture, art, history, and the spirit of loyalty and filial piety, with completion targeted for 2028.
