The district will strengthen integrity awareness through participatory events and a live concert, building on three consecutive years of top ratings from the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission from 2023 to 2025.
Gwangjin-gu has designated September as "Integrity Month" and will run a range of programs designed to encourage participation and open communication among all district employees.
To mark the occasion, the district has organized performances, participatory events and forums aimed at raising staff awareness of integrity and promoting its practice in daily work.
The district also plans to review the progress of its key anti-corruption and integrity policies.
A lineup of accessible, engaging programs will be offered to staff. These include an "Integrity Lottery Event," interactive activities using an online learning platform, and integrity-themed media content alongside an employee-driven "Integrity Shorts Challenge." A morning audio segment called "Empathy Integrity Broadcast" has also been planned, through which the district mayor and others will deliver integrity messages directly to staff to encourage everyday practice.
On Sept. 17, the district will hold an "Integrity Live Concert" at the main auditorium of the district office for about 500 employees from the district and affiliated agencies. The event is intended to give staff an enjoyable setting in which to reflect on the meaning of integrity and build a shared commitment to putting it into practice.
Efforts to foster an integrity culture within the organization will also include dialogue and policy reviews. A roundtable of "Anti-Corruption Clean (Integrity + Proactive Administration) Guardians" will be convened to gather employee views on organizational culture and integrity practices, while a reporting session of the anti-corruption task force will assess the progress of major anti-corruption and integrity policies. An integrity policy advisory committee meeting will collect expert opinions to strengthen the effectiveness of those policies.
"Integrity is not the responsibility of any one person or department — it is a value that every employee must practice together," Gwangjin-gu District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho said. "We will build an organizational culture in which staff enjoy taking part in a variety of programs, reflect on the meaning of integrity, and carry that into their daily work."
Gwangjin-gu has earned a top rating in the comprehensive integrity assessment conducted by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission for three consecutive years from 2023 to 2025, cementing its standing as a leading institution in integrity.
