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. It shifted from one-off disaster response to a permanent delivery system for welfare and administrative services after introducing “welfare mail” in 2022. 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.
