This appointment marks the first female executive in the history of Busan Metropolitan Corporation.

New Head Woo Mi-ok graduated from Dong-A University with a degree in Public Administration and completed graduate studies in Public Administration at Pusan National University. She has built her managerial capabilities through key positions in Busan City, including Director of the Women and Family Bureau, Director of the Education Support Division, Director of the Safety Policy Division, and Director of the Human Resources Division.

Additionally, the BMC Executive Recommendation Committee evaluated that “her approximately 35 years of experience as a Busan City public official, handling personnel, organization, budgeting, and various other fields, will greatly assist her in fulfilling the role of Head of the Planning and Management Division at the corporation.”

A BMC official expressed expectations that, as the first female executive of Busan Metropolitan Corporation and with her experience as Director of the Busan City Women and Family Bureau, she will be able to provide services that are more friendly and accessible to the citizens of Busan.

To ensure a transparent appointment process, BMC formed and operated an Executive Recommendation Committee composed of external members, and after three rounds of review, finalized the candidate.
