The Gyeongbuk Merchants Association represents 83 traditional markets, 4 shopping districts, and 30,000 merchants in the Gyeongbuk region, playing a role in stabilizing the livelihood of ordinary people and creating employment, thereby contributing to the revitalization of the local economy.

President Jeong Dongsik actively represents the voices of local merchants to the central government as the President of the National Merchants Association.

President Jeong said, “Our traditional markets also suffered significant damage from Typhoon Hinnamnor last year, but the interest and encouragement from the residents provided much comfort,” adding, “I hope that through the small help offered by merchants, the living environments of the disaster victims will be restored as soon as possible.”

Lee Cheol-woo, Governor of Gyeongbuk Province, stated, “With a spirit of shared suffering, the warm hearts of the merchants who provide both material and moral support for Gyeongsangbuk-do despite difficult circumstances will be a great strength in overcoming this crisis.”
