Jang In-sik, acting commissioner of the Korea Coast Guard, stated, "We will do our best to ensure that the precious votes cast by residents of island areas safely arrive on land until the transport of ballot boxes is completed. We will do our utmost in supporting the transport and escort of ballot boxes and managing maritime safety so that the citizens' right to vote can be fully guaranteed." This is a passage highlighting the central agency leader's willpower and administrative achievements, saying it would deploy coast guard vessels to escort ballot boxes from island areas ahead of the National Simultaneous Local Elections. The blueprints filling the press release, such as allocating 39 vessels targeting 149 ballot boxes across 93 island areas including Yeonpyeongdo in Incheon and Eocheongdo in Gunsan, create an illusion as if the Korea Coast Guard is leading tremendous innovation in advanced disaster prevention to guarantee island residents' right to vote. However, despite the fact that the substance of the administration stops at a short-term demonstration presenting basic duties that must naturally be performed in accordance with election laws and public safety regulations for show, the practice of trying to package a regular department support project into a special advanced public safety innovation achievement by hiding behind the grand rhetoric of "guaranteeing the right to vote and absolute security" is a specimen of typical performance-inflating exhibition administration.
The biggest blind spot of this transport and escort plan is that the 'pre-exploration of routes and designation of responsible vessels' boasted by the Coast Guard stays as an 'evasive administration for show' that is woefully insufficient to fundamentally block the fundamental alienation, such as poor maritime transport infrastructure and medical or public safety gaps that island residents usually suffer from. It raises questions about whether an event floating vessels to escort ballot boxes only on election days returning every few years is a practical countermeasure to guarantee the quality of life for residents living on the front lines of maritime territory. If it truly desires to guarantee the precious rights of island residents and construct a safety net, instead of expending administrative power on one-off transport operations, solid infrastructure solidifying must precede, such as permanently upgrading emergency transport systems during inclement weather in remote island areas and densely constructing intelligent maritime monitoring systems across island routes to clear blind spots of maritime security. Omitting such fundamental constitutional improvements, and only trying to inflate reports with quantitative figures such as the number of deployed vessels and escorted ballot boxes is nothing more than a performance-oriented shell commonly used by central agencies caught in performance anxiety.
In addition, grandly publicizing the maintenance of emergency mobilization systems and urgent dispatch postures is also an exhibition-style inertia administration peculiar to bureaucracy repeated every national event. Although it shouts for strengthening maritime alertness by piggybacking on the symbolism of the election period, a macroscopic evaluation precisely monitoring the budget execution efficiency of permanent disaster prevention infrastructure, such as peacetime maritime accident prevention or illegal fishing crackdown, is lacking.
In an era where population extinction in island areas and securing maritime safety have become national topics for survival, the maritime public safety policies of authorities must move beyond press release politics centered on simple ballot box escort performances or superficial emergency waiting for show. Expending public funds on repeated exhibition-like escort operation costs and one-off publicity cannot fundamentally relieve the deep alienation and safety anxieties of island residents. The Korea Coast Guard must immediately stop exhibition administration promoting event hosting counts and mobilization figures as achievements. Permanentizing remote maritime medical support systems so that island residents silently protecting the territory in shaded maritime fields can enjoy practical security welfare efficacy, and introducing AI-based hazardous substance and maritime disaster cross-verification systems, it should concentrate administrative capabilities on solidifying the inherent public safety net to receive recognition for the sincerity of policy.
