Representative Hong Seok-jun visited Bbangjangsu Chef, which relocated its main store to Janggi-dong, Dalseo-gu, Daegu on June 15, and took a commemorative photo with Park Ki-tae, CEO of P Chef Korea.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Hong Seok-jun, a member of the Future United Party (Daegu Dalseo-gap), announced on the 21st that he has taken the lead in proposing the "Blood Management Act Amendment Bill" to expand blood donation participation and resolve blood supply issues.

The amendment includes provisions for the government and local governments to reduce fees for the use of public facilities, admission fees, and service charges for people who donate blood frequently. It also allows for the establishment of criteria for selecting distinguished blood donation families and rewarding multiple-time donors to foster a social atmosphere of blood donation.

Rep. Hong emphasized, "The trend of decreasing blood donations, combined with the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), has triggered an emergency regarding blood supply for transfusions," adding, "A blood donation activation bill is necessary to expand participation and solve blood supply problems."

Earlier, on the 14th, Rep. Hong took the lead in proposing the "Tax Reduction and Exemption Control Act Amendment Bill and Inheritance and Gift Tax Act Amendment Bill" to reduce the tax burden on small and medium-sized enterprises. This amendment was recorded as Rep. Hong's first bill.
