Gyeonggi Province announced that Governor Kim Dong-yeon will accompany Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung on his field visits to Motgol Market and Yeongdong Market in Suwon from 11:00 AM to 12:15 PM. The two will then hold a meeting with Lee Choong-hwan, president of the National Merchants Federation, and others at Yeongdong Market.

Governor Kim Dong-yeon and leader Lee Jae-myung plan to explore government support measures for local love gift certificates, which have been fully cut from the national treasury, while listening to the voices of traditional market merchants and citizens on site and considering ways to restore people’s livelihoods.
Kang Min-seok, spokesperson for Gyeonggi Province, said, "The meeting between the two on this day will be a symbolic occasion where Gyeonggi Province and the Democratic Party take care of the people’s economy, which President Yoon has almost neglected."
Meanwhile, after completing the field visit, Governor Kim Dong-yeon will travel to Seoul to meet with Jinwoo, the head monk of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism.
Spokesperson Kang Min-seok anticipated, "This meeting will be an occasion to express concern about the country’s reality of polarization caused by political conflicts and to seek a path toward national unity and harmony."
