Instead of a formal inauguration ceremony, Chief Ok began his duties by listening to the maritime security situation in the jurisdiction at the comprehensive situation room, greeting staff as he visited each department, and encouraging officers at the Masan Police Substation.

He said, "Please work to create a workplace culture of respect and communication among staff, so that we can become a Coast Guard that serves the people through smooth operations and teamwork."
