Blocking Crime-Linked Messenger Accounts Chosen as Top Proactive Administration Practice

The Office for Government Policy Coordination announced today (September 21) that it has reviewed cases of proactive administration across all ministries and selected five outstanding examples.

The office conducted an online public vote after shortlisting 10 representative cases.

Selected as the top practice was a project supported by the Personal Information Protection Commission that enables real-time blocking of messaging app accounts linked to phone numbers used in crimes.

Coming in second was the Korea Coast Guard's easing of departure conditions for fishing vessels operating in coastal waters, followed in third place by a project by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs providing tailored housing support to descendants of independence patriots facing poor housing conditions.

The Ministry of Data and Statistics' proposal of optimal locations for wildfire monitoring CCTV cameras based on data analysis, and the Ministry of Health and Welfare's ex officio application for livelihood benefits without the prior consent of vulnerable households in crisis, placed fourth and fifth, respectively.
