The Gyeonggi Provincial Government's Information Disclosure Council has been criticized for being a "ceremonial" body, with only two face-to-face meetings over the past three years. The council is responsible for deliberating on information disclosure requests and making recommendations to the provincial government. However, records show that the council has not held regular meetings, with most decisions being made through written resolutions. In 2020, the council held no face-to-face meetings, and in 2021, it held one meeting. This year, it has held one meeting so far, on May 18. Despite the lack of meetings, the council has deliberated on 304 cases, with 287 cases being approved for disclosure. The council consists of nine members, including three from the provincial government, and six external members. Critics argue that the council's lack of meetings undermines its effectiveness in promoting transparency and accountability in the provincial government's decision-making process. Provincial government officials defended the council's operations, saying that written resolutions are sufficient for making decisions and that face-to-face meetings are not necessary. However, some council members have expressed concerns about the lack of meetings, saying that it makes it difficult for them to fully perform their duties. The controversy has raised questions about the effectiveness of the council and the provincial government's commitment to transparency and accountability.
