Abstract: Korea puts forth Government 3.0 as a new paradigm of the government workings. President Park's strong pledge for public sector reform through the Government 3.0 drive envisions realizing a transparent, competent, and service-oriented government. Although value judgment on Government 3.0 is so premature yet, the Park administration sees as many critiques as eulogies for it. The Government 3.0 drive offers far more than what the technological potentials of Web 3.0 promise. What the drive suggests is not really novel. The details of Government 3.0 are similar to what Government 2.0 offers based on the interactive potentials of Web 2.0. The Government 3.0 drive is too normative to make practical results. Public agencies that lead the Government 3.0 drive may have confusion between its ends and means; as a result, goal displacement. Opening more information can impose more burdens on public employees' shoulder in warranting accuracy of information released and security of information sharing settings. Government 3.0 as political rhetoric may be ephemeral with political swings.
