Postmen to check on residents and help with surveys as Korea Post expands public role
Korea Post is expanding the role of postmen to act as a “last mile” in national administration, including identifying welfare blind spots and carrying out administrative checks.

Legal grounds were strengthened in May through an amendment. Projects also include statistical surveys and environmental collection efforts such as unused medicines and e-cigarettes.
