Busan Metropolitan City Holds Second-Half Anti-Corruption and Integrity Training to Foster a Culture of Integrity in Public Service

내용

Busan Metropolitan City, led by Mayor Chun Jae-soo, will hold the 2026 Second-Half Anti-Corruption and Integrity Training today, August 27, at 3:00 p.m. in the auditorium at Busan City Hall to strengthen public officials’ integrity competencies and establish a transparent public-service culture.

Approximately 700 public officials, including Mayor Chun Jae-soo and employees from Busan Metropolitan City headquarters, district and county offices, and public corporations and agencies, will attend the training to reaffirm the meaning of integrity and strengthen their commitment to practicing integrity as public officials.

The training has been organized to enhance public officials’ understanding of anti-corruption laws and regulations, including the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act, and to promote the practice of integrity in the workplace and the spread of a culture of integrity throughout public organizations.

The training will be led by Park Uk-hyeon, an integrity instructor with the National Integrity and Rights Training Institute of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission.

Drawing on a range of situations that may arise in the public sector, the instructor will explain anti-corruption laws, regulations, and systems, including the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act, in an accessible manner. The training will also help public officials prevent corruption risks they may encounter in the course of their duties and establish standards for fair performance of their responsibilities.

In particular, the program will move beyond conventional training centered on laws and regulations, which can sometimes feel rigid and difficult, by incorporating familiar scenes from films and actual public-sector cases. This approach is intended to make the value of integrity easier to understand and apply in the workplace, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the training.

Busan Metropolitan City expects the training to serve as an opportunity for public officials to recognize integrity not merely as a legal obligation to be observed, but as a fundamental value for maintaining citizens’ trust, and to actively put that value into practice in their work.

Mayor Chun Jae-soo said, “Integrity among public officials is the most fundamental principle for earning citizens’ trust and the starting point for achieving fair administration.” He added, “We will build a trusted municipal administration by ensuring that all public officials carry out their duties fairly and transparently from the perspective of our citizens.”
