Kim Deokman, Director of the Institute for Integrity and Ethics and former spokesperson for the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, delivered a lecture titled "The Spread of Integrity Culture and the Role of Leaders," drawing on his seven years of experience in public service.

County Governor Hwang Inhong stated, "Integrity cannot be achieved through the efforts of just one person; it can only be upheld when everyone recognizes its importance and puts it into practice together. We will continue to foster a culture of integrity in public service so that officials can take pride in their work."

Meanwhile, Kim Deokman, who was invited as the speaker, has previously served as spokesperson and public relations officer at the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, spokesperson at the National Integrity Committee, and public relations officer at the Anti-Corruption Commission.
