[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] Choi Jae-hyung, a preliminary candidate for the People Power Party's presidential primary, attended the Good Morning roundtable held at the Korea Federation of SMEs in Yeouido, Seoul, on the 12th, meeting with businesspeople including Kim Ki-moon, chairman of the Korea Federation of SMEs.

Former Governor Choi said to the businesspeople that day, "Among the various reasons why small and medium-sized enterprises are facing difficulties, the sharp increase in the minimum wage and the 52-hour workweek system account for a significant part."

He continued, "Moreover, recently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, not only companies but also self-employed individuals are experiencing many hardships," and pointed out, "It is hard to accept the quarantine system that restricts the number of people to 4 or 2 depending on the time."
