The New Civil Servants Union at Daegu City Hall issued a statement on September 22, urging Mayor Choo Kyung-ho to take immediate action against the Daegu city executive official who hosted a drinking party during working hours in broad daylight.


Jang Jaehyung, head of the New Civil Servants Union, stated on Facebook, "The public sector is operated based on the trust of citizens, and in particular, senior officials must set an example for the organization and are required to uphold the highest levels of responsibility and public service ethics." He went on to say, "It has been reported that a senior official at Daegu City organized a drinking party in broad daylight during working hours, which is a serious issue that cannot be dismissed simply as personal misconduct."

Chairman Jang added, "There should not be a double standard where strict discipline is emphasized only for rank-and-file civil servants, while violations by executive officials are treated leniently." He called on Mayor Choo Kyung-ho to recognize the seriousness of this situation and to take responsible actions as soon as the facts are confirmed.



A Daegu City official stated, "This executive is a department head at the director level, and it is understood that he left the office and held a drinking party in broad daylight during working hours." The official added, "As this has reportedly happened several times, the Daegu City Audit Office is currently investigating the matter."
