Mayor Kim visited traditional markets in the area to celebrate the Lunar New Year, greeted merchants, and encouraged them while touring the markets holding customer appreciation events for the holiday.

He listened closely to the merchants' stories while shopping for items needed for the Lunar New Year table, such as rice cakes, fruits, and jeon (Korean pancakes), taking time to hear voices directly from the field.

Kim Kyung-ho, mayor of Gwangjin District, said, “I hope this event will provide practical help to both traditional markets and consumers. I wish everyone a joyful Lunar New Year, shopping affordably at warm-hearted traditional markets and receiving prizes.”
