On the 21st, through a statement, President Song said, "The distribution of livelihood recovery consumption coupons is welcome news, like rain after a drought, for the stagnant domestic market. However, in order for this policy to truly serve as a catalyst for the recovery of people's livelihoods, wise consumption by citizens is more essential than anything else."

In particular, President Song emphasized, "I ask you to use the consumption coupons at local restaurants, small cafes, neighborhood shops, and traditional markets, which are run by your neighbors and support your families' livelihoods. Each of your wise and small acts of consumption will be a great source of hope and support for small business owners across Korea."

He added, "It is regrettable that the use of consumption coupons has been allowed at certain Hanaro Mart locations and small- and medium-sized food ingredient marts in some regions. However, especially in times like this, I earnestly ask everyone to support small business owners through wise and small acts of consumption."
