Yoon Visits Busan Dongnae Market... "Always Thinking of the People" (Comprehensive)

Visited after presiding over the Minsheng Discussion
First visit to Dongnae Market in 2 years

President Yoon Suk-yeol visited Dongnae Market, a representative traditional market in Busan, on the 13th and stated, "I will work hard, thinking of the people day and night."

On the afternoon of the same day, right after a public discussion on livelihood issues, President Yoon visited Dongnae Market in Busan and encouraged the merchants by saying, "I have returned to Dongnae Market after two years, and I will work hard for Busan and Dongnae."

This visit to Dongnae Market was President Yoon's first since October 2021, when he was a presidential candidate. During his visit to Busan in December last year, he visited the International Market and Kkangtong Market.

At the market, President Yoon shook hands individually with citizens who welcomed him and took 'selfies' together. He then toured the shops inside the market building, inquiring about how the merchants spent the Lunar New Year holiday and offered well wishes by saying, "Happy New Year."

Additionally, President Yoon visited Jeonghee Rice Shop, which has been operated for 108 years over three generations, purchasing mixed grains and gimbugak (seaweed chips), and said, "It feels like I came to the market with my mother during my childhood."

Looking at the rice barrel that has been used for 70 to 80 years, President Yoon said, "This is not just a store but a place where the traditional culture of the traditional market is alive." He also promised, "I will work hard to encourage the merchants."

This visit to Dongnae Market was arranged as part of strengthening on-site visits to livelihood areas. After receiving reports from his aides about public sentiment during the Lunar New Year holiday, President Yoon said, "Ultimately, it is about the people's livelihood," and added, "We must put more effort into governance centered on people's livelihood going forward."
