Increasing Number of Local District Promoters from National Regional Universities like Gyeongbuk National University, Chonnam National University, Jeonbuk National University, Pusan National University, Chungbuk National University, and Changwon National University Draws Attention
The number of public relations officers from regional universities is increasing in Seoul's autonomous districts.
Civil servants are selected based on exam scores, unlike general large corporations, so graduates from regional universities are not at a disadvantage.
As a result, these individuals take the Seoul autonomous district exams, pass based on their scores, and work as public officials. Depending on their abilities, they are appointed as media team reporting officers and work as promotional workers for district administration.
In particular, graduates from national universities such as Kyungpook National University, Chonnam National University, and Pusan National University are increasing, drawing attention.
Among Kyungpook National University alumni are Guro-gu's Public Relations Officer Kim Jeong-min, Dobong-gu's Media Team Leader Bae Mi-hwa, Reporting Officers Yoon Tae-young and Lee Min-wook, Mapo-gu's Reporting Officer Jeong Min-hwa, and Gangdong-gu's Reporting Officer Shim Hyo-hil.
