President Lee Visits Anheung Port, Talks Livelihood Issues with Local Merchants

President Lee Jae-myung visited Anheung Port in Taean County, South Chungcheong Province, this afternoon (October 8) after observing a test launch of a hypersonic glide vehicle, speaking with local merchants about livelihood issues.

Senior Presidential Spokesperson Kang Yu-jung said in a written briefing that President Lee listened to voices on the ground, asking residents and merchants how their livelihoods were faring.

In response, merchants voiced difficulties, noting that anglers visiting the port rarely come to the local restaurants.

Spokesperson Kang shared that President Lee also greeted vendors prepping and selling cuttlefish, as well as those who had caught large quantities of rockfish, and shook hands and took photos with a merchant who said they felt self-conscious because their hands were dirty.
