Seoul - Yonhap
President Lee Myung-bak called Monday for more visits to traditional markets ahead of the Chuseok holiday, saying that revitalizing such small-vendor facilities will help boost regional economies and improve the livelihoods of low-income families. \"I have a special request to make to our citizens with Chuseok just around the corner. I hope people will frequently use traditional markets,\" Lee said in his biweekly radio address, a week before Chuseok, one of Korea\'s biggest traditional holidays, roughly the equivalent of Thanksgiving Day.
