[Asia Economy (Seongnam) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] On the 28th, Eun Soo-mi, mayor of Seongnam City, visited traditional markets one after another, including Seongho Market in Seongnam-dong and Sutgol Sinheung Market in Sinheung-dong, to encourage merchants ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

Mayor Eun first visited the Seongho Market Merchants' Association office, where she had a casual talk with Chairman Oh Chang-seop and other officials about the facility modernization project. She said, "It is important to break ground as soon as possible for the construction of the residential-commercial complex building with six underground floors and 23 aboveground floors," and promised, "We will actively cooperate and communicate with the Merchants' Association as the project progresses."

If the Seongho Market facility modernization project proceeds as planned, construction will begin in 2022 and be completed by December 2024.

Seongho Market is located in Seongnam-dong, Jungwon-gu, and consists of a single aboveground floor. It is a traditional market with a lifestyle-oriented retail format selling items such as jokbal (pig's trotters), side dishes, and fruits.

Mayor Eun then visited stores within the market and purchased pancakes, fruits, and side dishes using the Seongnam Love Gift Certificate.

Afterwards, she moved to Sutgol Sinheung Market located in Sinheung-dong, where she bought rice cakes and shoes and held a luncheon meeting with merchants, including Chairman Kim Joon-tae.

Mayor Eun said, "We expect an increase in visitors ahead of the Chuseok holiday," and urged, "Please pay attention to quarantine rules as well as personal hygiene."

Sutgol Sinheung Market is a three-story aboveground shopping mall-style market with a lifestyle-oriented retail format.

In the afternoon, Mayor Eun visited the Seongnam City Flower Direct Transaction Market, the Eco-friendly Agricultural Products Sales Center, and the Agricultural and Marine Products Comprehensive Distribution Center in succession to listen to and encourage farmers and staff regarding their difficulties.
