Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon served lunch to city employees on October 21 at the city hall cafeteria, thanking them for their efforts in preparing for the national audit.
The special meal provided to employees for free featured popular dishes from the 'Seoul Moonlight Market,' a project aimed at revitalizing the city's night economy. The menu included chive pork belly from the Sadang Night Market, chicken skewers from the Konkuk University area, and fried eggplant from the Sindang Central Market.
In line with the initiative to promote local businesses, the fried eggplant was sourced directly from the Sindang Central Market. The chive pork belly and chicken skewers were recreated in the cafeteria based on popular items from the Sadang and Konkuk night markets.
Wearing a chef's coat and apron, Mayor Oh distributed the fried eggplant to employees before having lunch with staff responsible for night economy policies, including '24-Hour Vibrant City Seoul' and 'Seoul Moonlight Market.' He expressed gratitude for their work in preparing for the national audit and listened to feedback on project outcomes and on-site opinions.
Mayor Oh emphasized the growing importance of urban spaces where people can meet and interact, especially in the age of artificial intelligence. He urged staff to ensure that initiatives like the Moonlight Market encourage citizens to gather and engage at night, thereby invigorating local economies.
The Seoul Moonlight Market project aims to connect local food and cultural tourism resources, creating attractions where citizens and tourists can enjoy the city at night. The city selected six pilot areas in September and plans to expand to a total of 25 areas by 2028.
