[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] President Moon Jae-in stated on Facebook on the 16th, "I saw reports that the voluntary rent reduction movement by building owners, which started in Jeonju Hanok Village, is spreading throughout Jeonju city, including traditional markets, old downtown areas, and university districts," and added, "I send my applause to Jeonju city and its citizens."

President Moon emphasized, "Jeonju city and building owners have announced a ‘Declaration of Coexistence for Overcoming COVID-19 and Revitalizing the Local Economy.’ This will be a great help in overcoming the severe consumption contraction, sales decline, and local economic stagnation caused by COVID-19."
