In his congratulatory speech, Governor Oh said, "I believe our society is warmer and happier thanks to the social workers who quietly fulfill their roles in difficult places," and added, "As Uiryeong is known as Korea's richest area, we will do our best to ensure that no one is left behind." He also stated, "We will continue to strive to improve treatment and promote the rights of social workers so that they can work with pride in a stable environment."

Meanwhile, Social Workers' Day has been designated and celebrated annually on March 30th since the enactment of the 'Act on the Improvement of Treatment and Status of Social Workers' on March 30, 2011, to foster pride and encourage social workers.
