Baek Jong-won, “If you succeed, you’ll be a great guy” with a smile

Baek Jong-won announced that he would introduce a greater variety of food during the second opening of Yesan Market.

On the 20th, a video titled '[Baek Jong-won Becomes Mayor Episode 10] 100 people came to Yesan Market before opening?' was posted on the YouTube channel 'Baek Jong-won PAIK JONG WON'.

Baek Jong-won decided to temporarily close the renewed Yesan Market to further address the problems discovered and to allow customers to stay in the market more comfortably. Baek Jong-won also had a meeting with The Born Korea employees. At the meeting, Baek Jong-won spoiled the plan, saying, “Isn’t OOO one of the new stores that needs to be opened?”

Baek Jong-won announced his plan, saying, “In Season 2, the food will be richer and much more diverse.” He continued, “As soon as I saw that, I thought, ‘Isn’t that a crazy guy?’ This is it. If you succeed, you will become a ‘great guy.’ I’m not doing this because I want to be called a great guy. But I wanted to try it,” he said, laughing.
