Emergency Situation: Seoul City Senior Officials' Transfers Proceed as Scheduled

With the emergence of an emergency situation, year-end high-level personnel changes in Seoul City are drawing attention.

Seoul City plans to carry out high-level personnel reshuffles as part of a reform effort for Mayor Oh Se-hoon's effective working year in 2025, following voluntary retirements by senior officials such as the 1st and 2nd Deputy Mayors and other first- and second-grade executives to make way for their juniors.

A senior official from Seoul City stated, "The personnel transfers of senior executives will proceed as scheduled without considering other factors."

Amid the presidential impeachment crisis, it is reported that personnel transfers and promotions will be implemented to stabilize the organization.

Except for personnel needs such as executives moving to affiliated organizations shortly before retirement or deputy district heads entering honorary retirement in autonomous districts, other transfers are expected to be minimized as much as possible.

According to this policy, transfers among first- and second-grade positions at the headquarters are anticipated.

Promotions to third-grade (director) positions and personnel changes among mid- and lower-level executives below fourth-grade (section chief) are expected to proceed as planned.

The new political variables are expected to affect not only public officials but also private companies.
