Han Dong-hoon, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, visited Busan, part of the Nakdong River belt, to hold a meeting with merchants and expressed his determination to pass a bill that allows the central government to directly support traditional markets.

On the 14th, Chairman Han visited 'Gupo Market' in Buk-gu, Busan, saying, "Support for traditional markets is mostly done only through local governments," and added, "Although we have local government heads in some areas, support is sometimes not provided promptly, so we created a law that allows the central government to provide direct support." He emphasized, "This issue is not a big burden at the central government level," and stated, "We will definitely pass it through this election."

Regarding a merchant's suggestion to install an escalator at Exit 1 of Deokcheon Station in Buk-gu, Chairman Han said, "Seo Byung-soo (Busan Buk-gu Gap) is known for his speed in implementation," and added, "Next time I come to Gupo Market, I will ride that escalator." Representative Seo also said, "It just takes time to investigate, but the design is already done," and added, "It only needs the budget, so we will complete it within a year."

After purchasing jokbal (pig's trotters) and jeon (Korean pancakes) at Gupo Market, Chairman Han held another meeting with merchants at 'Jeong Alley Market' in Saha-gu, Busan. At the meeting, he said, "I have never received such warm hospitality," and added, "I am so grateful to the point of being overwhelmed and will do truly good politics." He continued, "This is not just talk for the general election; I will not lose the original intention to improve the lives of market merchants and citizens."

At this meeting as well, Chairman Han reiterated his determination to pass the central government's traditional market support law. He explained, "The central government will directly support traditional markets to prevent delays caused by going through multiple stages," and added, "As the ruling party, we will fundamentally improve the structure with excellent candidates."

After the meeting, Chairman Han climbed onto the stage installed outside and appealed for support, saying, "I will do better for Busan. We are responsible for Busan," and "Please watch over us. We will start new politics in Busan."
