He has actively engaged in field-oriented legislative activities by visiting traditional markets and shopping districts in the area, listening to merchants' opinions, and devising practical support measures.
In particular, the opening of the Yangdong Industrial Goods Customer Support Center holds great significance as it was one of Chairman Jeon Seungil's major pledges during the 9th Seo-gu Council, and he took the initiative to fulfill this commitment.
The Yangdong Industrial Goods Market area has played a pivotal role in the local industry, but there has been considerable regret over the lack of customer convenience facilities and a systematic support infrastructure.
From the early days of his legislative activities, Chairman Jeon Seungil consistently raised the need for a customer support center through on-site visits, gathering merchants' opinions, and ongoing consultations with administrative agencies.
The newly opened customer support center is a multi-functional support space equipped with counseling rooms, rest areas, logistics and information guidance systems, and more. It is expected to greatly enhance convenience for customers using the Yangdong Industrial Goods Market and significantly contribute to revitalizing the local commercial district.
Chairman Jeon Seungil stated, "I am very pleased that the Yangdong Industrial Goods Customer Support Center has been completed," and added, "As small business owners are the foundation and backbone of the local economy, I will continue to implement policies to boost the competitiveness of small businesses and revitalize the local economy."
Meanwhile, Chairman Jeon Seungil received a plaque of appreciation from the National Federation of Micro Enterprises last month and is scheduled to receive the 2025 Governance Local Politics Award in the 'Administrative and Political Culture Innovation' category at the National Assembly Hall on the 23rd.
