Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Chun Jae-soo) announced that today (July 1), it will officially launch the ninth popularly elected municipal administration with a visit to Chungnyeolsa Shrine and immediately begin a field-oriented administration focused on restoring citizens’ livelihoods and delivering tangible improvements to everyday life, without holding a formal inauguration ceremony.

In particular, under the administrative vision of “Busan, Moving Forward to the World and Toward Tomorrow Once Again,” the City will concentrate its administrative capabilities on creating meaningful changes close to citizens’ daily lives.

As his first official engagement, Mayor Chun will visit Chungnyeolsa Shrine this morning with the heads of Busan’s 16 districts and counties to commemorate the launch of the new administration. He will then chair the “Busan 100-Day Emergency Measures for Livelihood Recovery Meeting” to review support measures for citizens and small business owners facing prolonged economic hardship caused by the high exchange rate, rising oil prices, and sluggish domestic demand, while establishing a rapid implementation system for livelihood recovery.

The mayor will then visit sites closely connected to citizens’ daily lives, including workplaces and local commercial districts, to hear directly from workers and small business owners. Based on these firsthand voices, the City will develop practical measures that citizens can genuinely experience.

The first field visit will be to the Dodam Dodam Seomyeon Center, a Mobile Worker Support Center, where the mayor will listen to the concerns of delivery drivers, couriers, and other mobile workers. The visit reflects the new administration’s commitment to directly addressing the difficulties faced by workers burdened by rising fuel costs and to seeking solutions by first visiting those facing the greatest challenges.

He will then visit the 40-Step Street Commercial District in Jung-gu, where he will hold a meeting with local merchants before walking through the neighborhood to hear directly from business owners. The purpose is to identify the challenges confronting small business owners struggling with high inflation and the economic slowdown and to develop effective support measures based on those findings.

Mayor Chun Jae-soo said, “The starting point of the ninth popularly elected administration is restoring the lives of our citizens. We will begin by visiting the places where people are experiencing hardship, listening carefully to even the smallest voices, and steadily creating changes that citizens can feel in their everyday lives.”

He added, “Speed is critical to restoring people’s livelihoods. We will move forward swiftly with livelihood recovery initiatives so that citizens can experience meaningful improvements as soon as possible, while delivering a responsible, field-oriented administration.”
