[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Pohang City, Gyeongsangbuk-do, which announced the operation of the citizen-wide consumption promotion campaign 'PungPung Sale Week' from the 20th to the 28th, announced on the 15th that it has decided to cancel the singer invitation concert to boost the event atmosphere.

This measure follows the confirmation of cases where confirmed patients related to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) cluster infections occurring in the metropolitan area have been identified in other regions.

Pohang City originally planned to hold an 'Economic Recovery Practice Declaration Ceremony' on the first day of the event, the 20th, along with a 'Boom-up Concert' inviting singers Kim Su-chan, Na Tae-ju, and Hong Ja. Even though the concert will be excluded, the Economic Recovery Practice Declaration Ceremony to strengthen citizens' consumption will proceed as scheduled, along with the on-site sale of Pohang Love Gift Certificates at a 10% discount.

A Pohang City official said, "Although the concert has been canceled, PungPung Sale Week will proceed as planned," and urged, "Small business owners and citizens are encouraged to actively participate in consumption promotion activities during PungPung Sale Week."
