Kim Taeheum: "Seocheon Specialized Market Budget Already Secured, Construction to Begin in October"

Kim Taeheum Refutes Park Soo-hyun's Top Seocheon Pledge:

"Market Reconstruction Already Secured"

Kim Taeheum, a preliminary candidate for governor of Chungnam Province from the People Power Party, criticized Park Soo-hyun, the Democratic Party's preliminary candidate, regarding his pledge to reconstruct Seocheon Specialized Market, stating, "Regardless of Park's pledge, the budget has already been secured, and all that remains is to begin construction."

During a meeting with merchants of Seocheon Specialized Market on May 12, Kim explained, "Recently, Park visited here and announced the reconstruction of the market as his number one pledge for Seocheon County, but this is already a done deal. A total budget of 43.2 billion won has been secured, including 10 billion won from the provincial government, 15.2 billion won from the national government, 13.6 billion won from the county, and about 4 billion won in insurance payouts."

Previously, on April 22, Park Soo-hyun, the Democratic Party's preliminary candidate, visited Seocheon Temporary Specialized Market and presented the reconstruction of Seocheon Specialized Market as his top pledge for Seocheon.

Kim Taeheum, a preliminary candidate for governor of Chungnam Province from the People Power Party, held a meeting with merchants of Seocheon Specialty Market on the 12th and announced, "A budget of 43.2 billion won has been secured, and the reconstruction of Seocheon Specialty Market will be completed by December 2027."

Kim explained the delay in the reconstruction project, saying, "The previous contractor went bankrupt due to issues at an apartment construction site in Gimpo, which made it necessary to select a new contractor. In addition, unlike the design drawings, there were many obstacles such as underground water supply and sewage pipelines, and it took several months to remove them."

He added, "Dowon ENC has been selected as the new contractor, and construction will begin in October, with the goal of completing the project by December 2027."

Kim also pledged, "I am a person who keeps my word, and I speak frankly about what can and cannot be done. Just as we completed the temporary market in 90 days, I will make Seocheon Specialized Market the best market in Korea."
