Osan City Mayor Lee Kwon-jae Holds "Shopping with Love" Event

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Lee Su-won] Osan City Mayor Lee Kwon-jae held a "shopping event" at Osaek Market in the city on the 13th, ahead of Chuseok, the nation's traditional holiday.

On that day, Mayor Lee personally purchased agricultural, livestock, and seafood products as well as Chuseok gift items using local currency to encourage traditional market merchants struggling with high prices and sluggish domestic consumption, and to provide some assistance to them.

The mayor visited elderly residents living alone in the city and personally delivered the purchased gift items while also providing companionship and paying respects for Chuseok, and also delivered items to child welfare facilities.

Osan City Mayor Lee Kwon-jae said, "Since the revitalization of traditional markets directly leads to the revitalization of the local economy, I hope citizens will prepare for the Chuseok holiday at traditional markets and join together in revitalizing the local economy," and "I wish you a bountiful Chuseok as full as the harvest moon."
