Why Are Seoul District PR Officers Smiling Brightly at Year-End?

The year-end promotion celebrations are continuing.

The rewards for the sweat shed over the past one to two years are blossoming into promotions. Especially for public officials, promotions are often considered more precious than life itself.

Public relations officers from Seoul City and its 25 autonomous districts are beaming with joy due to the year-end promotion announcements.

This year-end as well, public relations officers from Seoul’s autonomous districts are experiencing the joy of promotions in various places.

Promotions bring great joy not only to the individual but also to their spouse, family, and parents.

Districts such as Gwanak-gu, Songpa-gu, Guro-gu, Seongdong-gu, Mapo-gu, and Eunpyeong-gu have seen their public relations managers and press team leaders promoted to Grade 4 (Director) and Grade 5 (Manager).

Gwanak-gu celebrated the promotion of four people including Kim Seungwon, Public Relations Manager, Chae Jinsu, Press Team Leader, as well as Kim Younghwa and Jeong Haerim, junior staff. Kim Seungwon was promoted to Director, Chae Jinsu to Manager, Kim Younghwa to Grade 6, and Jeong Haerim to Grade 8, enjoying the joy of promotion.

Songpa-gu’s Kim Ransu, Public Relations Manager, fulfilled his role as the head of public relations for a year despite many difficult conditions and enjoyed the joy of promotion to Grade 4.

Guro-gu’s Park Youngju, Public Relations Manager, was also promoted to Grade 4 just one year after being transferred from Seoul City.

Additionally, Mapo-gu’s Lee Giyeon, Press Team Leader, who has been passionately covering the field for two years and sweating to promote Mayor Park Gangsu’s ‘Hyo-do Bapsang’ and ‘Hongdae L’Erdo’ projects, was promoted to Grade 5.

Especially in Mapo-gu, ‘Hyo-do Bapsang,’ Mayor Park Gangsu’s flagship project, was selected as the best policy of the year by Seoul City reporters, and Lee was recently chosen as ‘Autonomous District Public Relations Officer of the Year’ by Seoul City reporters, enjoying the best year-end celebration.

Seongdong-gu’s Lee Hyesook, Press Team Leader, earned the honor of promotion to Grade 5 after working hard for just a year and a half as team leader and promoting the policies of Jung Won-oh, the only three-term mayor of Seoul City in Seongdong-gu.

Eunpyeong-gu’s Park Youngsoo, Press Team Leader, who worked as a reporting junior for two and a half years and as press team leader for another two and a half years, set a record by being promoted to Grade 5 after 20 years since joining as Grade 9, becoming Eunpyeong-gu’s representative public relations officer.

Among junior staff, Yoon Hyejin from Jungnang-gu was promoted to Grade 6.

The promoted officials said, “I didn’t realize how great the joy of promotion would be,” and shared that they are receiving congratulations from family and colleagues.

However, with this joy of promotion, they must do their best next year in their respective fields and work hard for the residents and citizens.
