Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon is talking with merchants during his visit to Eunhaeng Market and Namhansanseong Market in Seongnam on the afternoon of the 31st.

Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon visited traditional markets across the province ahead of the Lunar New Year to observe the livelihood sites and encourage merchants.

On the 31st, Governor Kim visited Eunhaeng Market in Jungwon-gu, Seongnam City, and Namhansanseong Market, purchasing agricultural products, meat, and processed foods before holding a meeting with the merchants.

Joining the traditional market visits were National Assembly member Yoon Young-chan, Provincial Assembly members Jeon Seok-hoon and Guk Jung-beom, Seongnam City Council members Ko Byung-yong, Yoon Hye-seon, Jo Woo-hyun, and Kim Yoon-hwan, Seongnam City Merchants Association President Jo Woo-sik, and other merchants' association leaders.

Governor Kim expressed special appreciation to the traditional market merchants who support the local economy and encouraged their hard work.

He said, "Many people expressed that the economy is difficult and business is worse than before, which weighed heavily on my heart. We are working to expand various budgets in the supplementary budget and this year's budget to protect small business owners, self-employed individuals, and vulnerable groups to provide even a little help. We will strive harder so that everyone can stay strong during these tough economic times."

In this regard, Gyeonggi Province allocated 4 billion KRW in this year's budget for establishing an innovation model for traditional markets.

Earlier, Governor Kim visited Paju Geumchon Tongil Market on the 4th and Anyang Gwanyang Market on the 26th, holding meetings with merchants.

He plans to continue his livelihood-focused visits by visiting Namyangju Janghyeon Market on February 2nd.
