The National Assembly Research Service, founded in 2007 to serve National Assembly Research members and committees by providing research and information, celebrated its 6th anniversary on November 6, 2013.

Dr. Koh Hyun-wook, Chief of the NARS, praised and thanked all the staff members for their efforts and contribution in responding to about 9,500 requests-a substantial increase since the 19th National Assembly began-and also for their tireless work to make the 4th International Seminar for Parliamentary Research Service a success. Dr. Koh added that the NARS would concomitantly stay focused on its core values-expertise, non-partisanship, accuracy, and timeliness-and make greater efforts to earn the people's trust as one of the country's top-tier think tanks.

During the ceremony, founding members shared personal stories about NARS in its early days, while other staff members suggested ways to improve workplace communication.
