Translation Appeal to the citizens of Busan Dear citizens of Busan. What kind of enterprise is Kyoboinsurance? It is the enterprise that grew into a conglomerate by insurance in which people leave their life as collateral. This Kyoboinsurance would kill local bookstores and stationery shops as people's Sarangbangs and ruin the Economy of Busan. Their daily receipts in Busan are sent to Seoul immediately. Kyobomongo and Kyoboinsurance tried to find a market in Busan in 1986, but they were held back by the peoples' strong opposition. And they wrote a consensual note that they'll never open a store in Busan or other districts and had it notarized. A life insurance company which has to keep their promise like their life unilaterally renounce their promise to nation. And they would trample on Busan booksellers' bases of life and kill the Busan Economy. Opposition of Kyobomongo's advance into Busan is not just for booksellers. Kyoboinsurance and Kyonbomongo agreed and notarized with Korea Federation of Bookseller's Association that they would not open the local bookstore or countrywide branches in 1994. But they would not keep their promise. Prompt Report!!! We tearfully appeal to the citizens of Busan.
