President Yoon Suk Yeol on Monday pledged to exempt delivery charges on goods sold at traditional markets, and to put forth relief measures against customer no-shows and ill-intended service reviews.

At the first round of public debate since the administration entered the second half of its five-year term last month, Yoon promised to seek ways to boost domestic consumption and provide support to small businesses and the self-employed.

He vowed to earmark a record high of five-point-nine trillion won, or around four-point-two billion U.S. dollars, from next year's budget to assist small businesses, while cutting delivery platform charges applied to them by at least 30 percent.

No delivery charge will be applied to traditional market businesses.

Referring to small businesses that are struggling to deal with customers' no-shows and malicious reviews, Yoon pledged to improve systems of reservation deposit and standard for dispute resolution and to establish 90 call centers nationwide to receive reports about malicious reviews. 

The presidential office said the administration plans to follow up with policymaking on Yoon's proposal last month to overcome polarization during the second half of his presidency.
