The small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) sector expressed profound sorrow over the sudden passing of Park Won-soon, Mayor of Seoul, and prayed for the repose and eternal peace of the deceased, who had been a pillar of support for SMEs.

On the 10th, Kim Ki-moon, Chairman of the Korea Federation of SMEs, announced a condolence statement expressing this sentiment. Through Chairman Kim's statement, the SME sector said, "The deceased was a symbolic figure of Korean civic organizations, having taken the lead in social movements by exemplary management of organizations such as the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy, Beautiful Foundation, and Hope Institute from early on. In 2006, he co-founded the Korea Federation of SMEs and the SME Era Forum, beginning a long-standing relationship with the SME sector."

They continued, "After being elected Mayor of Seoul in 2011, he became a strong pillar of support for the SME sector by establishing many policies for SMEs and small business owners and improving flawed systems. In March of this year, facing the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, he jointly announced and implemented Seoul City's social distancing campaign with the SME sector, uniting efforts to overcome the crisis in Korea."

Furthermore, the SME sector stated, "Even recently, during a meeting with the SME sector, he listened attentively to voices from the field and showed special affection and concern for SMEs and small business owners, which makes this loss even more unbelievable and sorrowful." They added, "We sincerely pray for the repose of the deceased and wish him eternal peace."
