This event was conducted in a drive-thru manner to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and was sold at a discounted price compared to market prices, receiving a positive response from customers.

A representative of Korea Expressway Corporation Gwangju Jeonnam Headquarters said, "We hope to be of some help to local farmers and underprivileged groups who are struggling due to COVID-19," and added, "We will take the lead in realizing the social value of public enterprises through community-based management in the future."
