He also had lunch with merchants at a restaurant within the market and listened to the difficulties they face on site.

At 1:30 PM, he continued on-site communication by visiting Hwagokbon-dong Market.

During his market tour, Mayor Jin purchased fruits, rice cakes, traditional cookies, dried persimmons, and other items using Onnuri gift certificates, exchanging New Year greetings with residents visiting the market.

Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon said, “I will listen carefully to the voices of market merchants and implement various policies, including market revitalization plans, to encourage more residents to visit traditional markets.”

On the day before the Lunar New Year holiday, the 8th, Mayor Jin plans to continue encouraging merchants and hearing their voices by visiting Hwagok Central Market, Kkachisan Market, and Nambu Alley Market in succession.
