Ulsan Nam-gu (Mayor Dong-wook Seo) started the "Creating a safe and convenient Sinjeong Market" activity at the Sinjeong Market central road on the 5th with Jo Mun-sik, who is active as the oldest reporter in "6 O'clock Hometown Report."

The activity that day consisted of related Nam-gu departments visiting individual stores with the merchants' association to promote the improvement of maintaining basic order such as ▲abiding by fire lines; ▲recycling emptying time; ▲waste water emission methods, etc.

Before execution, Nam-gu carried out the "Meeting for Improving the Traditional Market Environment" in May to listen to the opinions of market merchants in the field.

Sinjeong Market will receive KRW 800 million in support after being selected for the "Cultural Tourism Market Development Project", which is part of the 2024 traditional market and shopping district vitalization support project.

Mayor Dong-wook Seo announced "We are planning to increase the price and origin indication rate up to 90% even for traditional markets, while listening to various opinions to create traditional markets that residents can trust and visit", and "We wish for merchants to work towards strengthening the competitiveness of traditional markets through voluntary basic order maintenance activities while we carry out various support projects."

After establishing market order for recycling collection and expanding walkable space, Nam-gu is also planning to carry out crackdowns in areas with frequent complaints.
