Kim Jong-gi Pledges to Promote Hwaseo Market Modernization Project

Kim Jong-gi, the Grand National Party candidate for Suwon City Council District Ka (1-B), launched a campaign on the 27th to win over voters with a pledge to revitalize traditional markets through modernization projects at both Yeokjeon Market and Hwaseo Market.

"As the aging Yeokjeon Market has revealed various safety issues, we will replace fire safety facilities to provide comfortable shopping conditions and support joint marketing efforts with merchants to develop it into a representative traditional market of Suwon," Kim said.

Particularly regarding Hwaseo Market, Kim campaigned to appeal to local voters by stating, "We will undertake remodeling of restrooms and expand convenient facilities comparable to department stores."

Candidate Kim also presented an activation plan by creating themed streets around traditional markets to attract younger demographics. "The biggest reason people don't visit traditional markets is the lack of convenient facilities such as parking spaces," Kim said, adding, "By solving these issues, we will increase self-reliance among local small business owners and contribute to revitalizing the local economy."
