One homeless person said, "I want to work, but in winter, there are no day labor jobs, so it is difficult," and added, "I am not asking for material support, but I hope you can provide job opportunities."

Mayor Lee, along with Ahn Jae-geum, director of the Suwon Restart Homeless Comprehensive Support Center, inspected areas around the Suwon Station Transfer Center where many homeless people stay, and promised, "We will look for support measures so that homeless people can work."
