Yeonggwang-gun to Open Applications for 'Munhwa Nuri Card' Starting Next Month 1st

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeon Seong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Jun-seong) announced on the 28th that from the 1st of next month, it will begin accepting applications for the issuance of the Integrated Cultural Use Card (Munhwa Nuri Card) to provide cultural enjoyment opportunities to economically disadvantaged groups, improve quality of life, and reduce cultural disparities.

The beneficiaries are basic livelihood security recipients and legally designated lower-income groups aged 6 and above. Each individual will be issued one Munhwa Nuri Card, which can be used to watch performances, movies, exhibitions, sports games, or purchase cultural products such as books and music albums. It can also be used for hotel and pension accommodations.

The biggest change in this year’s program is that the individual support amount has increased by 10,000 KRW from the current 80,000 KRW to 90,000 KRW per person.

Eligible applicants can apply from the 1st of next month through the Munhwa Nuri Card customer center or the Munhwa Nuri Card website, or visit the eup/myeon office (from the 3rd of next month) with their ID for in-person application.

A county official said, “We hope that the Munhwa Nuri Card program will expand opportunities for cultural enjoyment among county residents,” and added, “We will work closely with eup/myeon offices to ensure thorough preparation for issuance and promotion of the program.”
