Yoon In-chon: "Public Officials Are Needed Whom Citizens Can Rely on Especially in Difficult Situations"

At the Ministry of Culture's New Year's Ceremony, Calls for Work Inspection and Change

Yoo In-chon, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, urged employees at the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's New Year's ceremony held at the Government Sejong Complex on the morning of the 6th to "faithfully carry out their duties while adhering to laws and principles."

"Recently, we have been reminded of the roles and responsibilities of public officials in difficult situations," he said, emphasizing, "In such an environment, public officials whom the people can trust and rely on are needed." He then urged, "Please review your existing tasks in each field and seek better directions and new changes."

He also said, "Last year, we made every effort to inform many citizens about the importance of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's policies," adding, "Let us all work together to establish the ministry as one that is more trusted by the public."

Minister Yoo also requested special attention to improving integrity. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism received the lowest grade, 5th rank, in the '2024 Public Institution Integrity Evaluation' announced by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission on the 19th of last month. This was a drop of two ranks compared to the previous year. Minister Yoo had instructed on the 24th of last month to thoroughly inspect to prevent such results from recurring.
