Governor Park Woolyang, along with senior officials and members of the integrity club (Cheongryeomhama), exchanged New Year’s greetings with staff in the county office lobby and encouraged active participation in creating a more transparent Shinan by promoting initiatives such as “No Giving or Receiving Holiday Gifts.”


In particular, this campaign featured an integrity lottery event, which attracted employees’ interest, and also included an integrity pledge in which staff vowed not to accept money or entertainment that could interfere with their duties, adding further significance to the event.


Governor Park stated, “The pride of Shinan County lies in our honest and hardworking employees. Please become the pride of Shinan that does not waver over small things,” as he offered New Year’s greetings.


The county is making efforts to spread a culture of integrity by issuing integrity advisories (in accordance with the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act), sending out integrity letters, and conducting special inspections to strengthen discipline among public officials.
