President Lee Jae-myung highlighted two departments when asked by his aides which ones were the most prepared for the work report. The first department mentioned was the Construction Education and Technology Institute. This institute, responsible for the education of construction technicians and skilled workers, was praised for its self-funding of 24 billion KRW annually for educational expenses.
The second was the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs’ Food Bureau, which gained attention with its prepared responses, earning the nickname ‘KongGPT’. When asked about the genetic modification of soybeans and corn, and the proportion of imported agricultural products, the Food Bureau head provided clear answers, alleviating public concerns about food safety. The head’s ability to provide precise figures like an AI and demonstrate a high sense of responsibility in his duties was also praised.
The Lee Jae-myung administration aims to increase transparency in state affairs by broadcasting the entire work report process live for the first time in history. Additionally, it seeks to inform the public about well-prepared civil servants and convey the government’s philosophy of national sovereignty from the public’s perspective.
The Presidential Office plans to continue identifying exemplary cases of practical implementation of government philosophy and expertise that meets public expectations in future work reports, and report them to the public in a detailed review format.
