The FSS announced that on the same day, Governor Yoon visited the 'KB Soho Consulting Sadang Center' and the 'Damage Support Dedicated Counter' at KB Kookmin Bank Sadang Branch in succession to check the financial support situation on site and listen to difficulties.

Governor Yoon encouraged the branch employees who are doing their best to provide financial support to small business owners and self-employed individuals, and requested ▲ smooth establishment of the interest subsidy loan program ▲ flawless implementation of loan maturity extension and interest repayment deferral ▲ support for customers at risk of delinquency.

He especially emphasized, "Branch employees are likely to know the situations of surrounding self-employed business owners better than anyone," and added, "They must be able to help 'as quickly as possible' based on 'on-site judgment.'"
