This appointment ceremony was organized not only to present appointment certificates and inform new public officials of their duties and responsibilities, but also to allow their families to directly observe the workplace environment through a family-inclusive format.

The event proceeded in the following order: promotional video about the county, an introduction video of the new officials, presentation of appointment certificates, oath-taking by the new officials, a congratulatory address from the county governor, the new officials' statements about their aspirations in public service, words of encouragement from a family representative, and a commemorative photo session.

The 42 new officials who received their appointment certificates on this day took an oath to faithfully comply with relevant laws and diligently carry out their assigned work.

The representative of the new officials expressed their commitment to their future careers in public service and thanked their families for their ongoing support. The family representative, in turn, encouraged the new officials to collaborate with colleagues and carry out their work responsibly.

Lee Hongki, Governor of Geochang County, urged the new officials to approach their administrative work, which is closely connected to the lives of county residents, with a strong sense of responsibility.

Governor Lee said, "Receiving your appointment certificate marks not only the start of your career, but also the assumption of responsibility to serve county residents. I hope you learn your work based on communication and cooperation, and diligently fulfill your assigned roles."

After the official event, the new public officials visited the departments where they will work in the future with their families.

At their assigned departments, the newly appointed officials greeted senior staff, checked their assigned duties and workspaces, and the accompanying family members also toured the departments where their children will be working and observed the workplace environment.

Geochang County plans to provide job training for the new public officials to help them adapt to administrative work after their department assignments, and will also create opportunities for communication between senior and new officials.

In particular, continual support will be provided so that new public officials can learn the administrative procedures required in real work situations, respond to civil petitions, and master collaboration within the organization.

The newly appointed public officials will now be assigned to various departments to perform their respective duties.
