It is not just one or two people.
Deputy Mayor Kim is a rare public official who graduated from the first class of the Taxation Department at University of Seoul and joined Seoul City as a Grade 7 official, having served as Personnel Director and Planning Officer.
It is rare for a non-exam-based general recruit to have served as Personnel Director and Planning Officer among Seoul City executives.
This proves that he possesses both ability and character. Deputy Mayor Kim received his appointment letter from Jeong Munheon, Mayor of Jongno-gu, on January 1 of this year, and it has been almost a year since he started working.
Deputy Mayor Kim is an "open-minded deputy mayor" who opened his office so that any employee can enter and discuss difficulties.
Jeong Miseon, Director of Welfare and Education Bureau, said, "When he first came to Jongno-gu, he opened his office so that anyone could visit anytime," and added, "All work reports are received via tablet, enabling prompt work execution." She also said, "Above all, he is a very excellent person on a human level."
Seo Heesook, Director of Public Relations Division, said, "He promotes work rationally on the side of employees, effectively leads interdepartmental cooperation, has good ideas, and communicates well with employees." She also said, "He is a warm-hearted leader who shows consideration. Especially, he encourages many marginalized departments and field workers."
Yoon Jeongsuk, Director of Administrative Support Division, said, "He always considers employees, clearly suggests directions when policy decisions are difficult, and has many followers," adding, "He is a rational, humane, good senior, and a good leader?exactly that kind of person."
Not only the executives who have served with him for about a year but also the employees' evaluations are consistent.
Most of Deputy Mayor Kim's acquaintances believe that it is because of such evaluations that he has reached the position of Deputy Mayor of Seoul City and Jongno-gu.
