On the 10th, Governor Seo Taewon and relevant public officials visited Gapyeong Jatgoeul Market together with the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation and the market merchants' association to examine price trends for Lunar New Year ritual goods and daily necessities.

On-site, they carried out a "Lunar New Year Price Stabilization Campaign," calling on residents to practice rational consumption and urging merchants to comply with the price-tagging system, asking everyone to join in establishing a sound distribution order.

Governor Seo helped revitalize the market by purchasing local agricultural and specialty products and holiday goods as he toured the market. In compliance with the Public Official Election Act, the purchased items will be delivered to households of severely disabled basic livelihood security recipients within the county.

Governor Seo Taewon said, "We will do our best to ensure the stable supply of Lunar New Year ritual goods and to stabilize prices," adding, "I ask our residents to actively use traditional markets so that they can serve as a strong pillar of the local economy."

Meanwhile, Gapyeong County also plans to actively promote Lunar New Year price stabilization by successively visiting the traditional markets in Seorak-myeon, Jojeong-myeon, and Cheongpyeong-myeon on the 11th and 12th.
