Gwangju Nam-gu (District Mayor Kim Byungnae) announced on the 6th that it is conducting the "Tree of Integrity in Bloom" campaign, where people attach integrity messages, in the lobby on the first floor of the main office building.

Recently, public officials at the district office planted a pink-colored "integrity tree" near the main entrance of the main office building. This initiative aims to spread a culture of integrity not only within the public sector but also throughout the Nam-gu community.

Currently, district office employees hang messages pledging to practice integrity on the tree as they come and go from work. The integrity tree, which stands about 180 cm tall, is adorned with white message "fruits" of integrity hanging from every branch.

Nam-gu has also allowed residents visiting the district office to voluntarily participate in the campaign to attach integrity messages, as part of efforts to spread a culture of integrity throughout the local community until the end of next month.

In addition, since the end of last month, senior officials at the district office have been participating in the "Cheongbaek Challenge" through the internal bulletin board of the Saeol Administrative System, joining in practical activities.

The first participant in the challenge was District Mayor Kim Byungnae, who pledged on the 24th of last month, "The driving force of Nam-gu comes from our commitment to integrity."

Following him, Deputy District Mayor Park Junghwan passed the baton with the message, "One step for practicing integrity, a big step for a better Nam-gu," and the challenge among senior officials is expected to continue until the middle of this month.

A Nam-gu official stated, "The integrity tree is a symbol that embodies the commitment of Nam-gu District Office's public officials to be pure and transparent," and added, "Our staff are taking the lead in spreading a culture of integrity so that corruption and wrongdoing cannot take root not only in the public sector but also throughout the community."
