Eleven public institutions under the Ministry of SMEs and Startups have also joined the Good Consumer Movement to overcome COVID-19 damage by expanding prepayments since the 1st of this month. Each institution and department selects about three restaurants and promotes a certain amount of prepayment using department operating expenses.

Minister Park Young-sun said, "Small business owners are neighbors always close to us," and added, "I actively welcome this prepayment movement voluntarily initiated by private organizations to support overcoming damages such as sales decline of small business owners, and I hope it spreads to more institutions and organizations."
