Sixty-one lawmakers were awarded by Sunfull Foundation for their use of positive language and words during legislative meetings, according to the foundation.
국회의원 61명이 국회 회기 동안 아름다운 말을 사용한 공로로 선플재단에서 상을 받았다고 이 재단이 밝혔다.
The awards ceremony organized by the nonprofit anti-cyberbullying foundation took place at Seoul Garden Hotel, Thursday.
사이버 언어폭력을 예방하는 비영리 재단인 선플재단이 주관한 이번 시상식은 목요일 서울가든호텔에서 열렸다.
This year, a total of 30 lawmakers from various parties were selected as winners by a panel of judges consisting of 300 high school and college students. They chose the winners by monitoring the transcripts of the National Assembly's legislative meetings over the last two months starting in September.
올해는 고등학생 및 대학생 300여 명으로 구성된 심사위원단의 심사를 통해 여야 국회의원 30명이 수상자로 선정되었다. 심사위원단은 국회 본회의에서 나왔던 발언록을 지난해 9월부터 2개월간 분석해 아름다운 말을 쓰는 국회의원 30명을 선정했다.
In addition to the 30 awardees, the ceremony took place with another 31 lawmakers who were selected last year but could not receive the award, as the annual event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
30명의 수상자 외에도, 지난해 선정됐지만 코로나19로 시상식이 취소돼 수상하지 못한 국회의원 31명이 시상식에 참여했다.
"This award is very meaningful as the winners were chosen by teenagers and young students. I will continue to use respectful language to improve the respect within and dignity of the Assembly," Assembly Speaker Park Byeong-seug, who was one of the four top prize winners, said in his acceptance speech.
선플대상을 수상한 박병석 국회의장은 "청소년들이 직접 선정해서 주는 상이라 더욱 뜻 깊다"며 "앞으로도 상대방을 존중하고 배려하는 언어 사용으로 국회의 품격을 더욱 높이겠다"고 말했다.
