On the 16th, in celebration of the Chuseok holiday, Suwon Mayor Lee Jae-jun shopped at Kumaedan Market and met with merchants and citizens visiting the market.
The mayor purchased food and groceries using Omni gift cards and visited various locations throughout the market to chat with merchants. The items purchased that day will be donated to social welfare facilities.
Suwon City is promoting "senior civil servants' traditional market shopping" in celebration of Chuseok. Department heads and bureau chiefs will visit their sister traditional markets from September 8th to 18th to shop and support the revitalization of traditional market usage.
Suwon Mayor Lee Jae-jun said, "For the Chuseok holiday, I hope citizens will purchase quality ritual items and festive food at traditional markets at reasonable prices."
