Gwangju University, Additional 50% Rent Reduction for Tenant Companies View original image

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju University (President Kim Hyukjong) announced on the 13th that it will provide an additional 50% rent reduction for three months to support on-campus businesses struggling due to the spread of COVID-19.


From March to May, Gwangju University participated in the 'Good Rent Movement' by reducing the rent of 15 on-campus stores, including photo studios, convenience stores, and cafes, by 50% for three months.


According to this policy, on-campus businesses will receive an additional 50% rent reduction from September to November.


President Kim Hyukjong said, "We made this decision to share the pain and promote mutual growth in a situation where on-campus businesses cannot operate normally due to the resurgence of COVID-19."



Meanwhile, considering the resurgence of COVID-19, Gwangju University extended non-face-to-face online classes until October 16, after the Chuseok holiday. This additional extension of online classes is a preemptive measure to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within the local community and the school, due to concerns that the large population movement during the Chuseok holiday could lead to a mass infection outbreak.
