Providing Easy Access to Integrity Education through Cartoons, Dramas, and More
Conducted Twice Monthly via Administrative Portal, Totaling 24 Sessions
[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangbuk-gu (District Mayor Lee Soon-hee) announced that starting this month, it will operate the ‘Jjamjjam-i Integrity Learning’ system to strengthen the integrity capabilities of all employees.
‘Jjamjjam-i Integrity Learning’ is a program that offers integrity education through cartoons, dramas, and other formats, allowing public officials to easily access short integrity lessons before starting their daily work.
Public institutions are required by law to conduct integrity education annually under the ‘Act on the Prohibition of Improper Solicitation and Graft’ and the ‘Act on the Prevention of Corruption and the Establishment and Operation of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission.’
The district established this system to enable all public officials affiliated with Gangbuk-gu to efficiently engage in integrity learning through the administrative portal they access daily for work.
A district official stated, “By continuously providing legally mandated integrity education throughout the year, we expect to enhance the integrity capabilities of our public officials.”
Gangbuk-gu plans to provide 24 content pieces to public officials by the end of this year, including topics such as the Conflict of Interest Prevention Act, Improper Solicitation and Graft Act, Whistleblower Protection System, Code of Conduct for Public Officials, and a comprehensive test.
Lee Soon-hee, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, said, “Integrity is the most honest way for public officials to earn trust from the people,” adding, “We will do our best to create a ‘Gangbuk of Shared Integrity and Value.’”

Yongsan-gu’s On-site Education for Housing Lease Contract Reporting System
Year-round Training for Newly Opened Real Estate Agencies and Related Workers
Strengthening Promotion to Prevent Disadvantages to Residents from Unreported Lease Contracts
Yongsan-gu (Acting District Mayor Kim Seon-su) is conducting year-round ‘On-site Housing Lease Contract Reporting System Education’ for newly opened licensed real estate agents and related workers in the area.
To prevent disadvantages to residents caused by unreported or delayed reporting of housing lease contracts, the district visits real estate agencies directly to provide education. Key topics include who must report housing lease contracts, procedures, and penalty regulations.
The Housing Lease Contract Reporting System, fully implemented in June 2021, requires parties to a lease contract to report the contract details within 30 days to increase transaction transparency and protect tenants’ rights.
The grace period for guidance lasts until May 31 this year, after which fines will be imposed for unreported or false reports starting in June.
Fines range from 40,000 to 1,000,000 KRW depending on the unreported period and contract amount, with a 1,000,000 KRW fine for false reports.
A district official urged, “Through education, we ask real estate agents to not only provide on-site guidance about the system but also lead efforts to foster a voluntary reporting culture so that contract parties report lease contracts within the deadline.”
Meanwhile, to facilitate smooth education, the district provides prior information about the training when issuing real estate agency registration certificates.
