Shim Namsik, selected as the MVP in the field of public service, contributed to realizing 'Safe Seo-gu' by minimizing inconvenience for citizens and vehicles through prompt snow removal on 32 main roads and 11 habitual icy spots in Seo-gu during the winter season.

He also proactively inspected road conditions to quickly repair potholes and, for the first time in the Gwangju region, installed smart LED reflectors, significantly reducing the risk of safety accidents in blind spots of residential areas with high accident rates.

At the award ceremony, Kim Ikang, Mayor of Seo-gu, said, "I hope the exemplary cases of MVP public officials who quietly dedicate and serve for the development of citizens and the local community will provide healthy motivation within the public sector and become an opportunity to build trust in administration," adding, "Seo-gu will do its best to realize a good city where not only public officials but also all residents are respected as warm-hearted people who do their best and live sincerely in their respective positions."
