[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) has prepared various events for residents visiting traditional markets from the 15th to the 30th in celebration of the major national holiday, Chuseok.

This event, held at seven traditional markets including Dongwon, Woorim, Myeonmok, Sagajeong, Dongbu, Jangmi Jeil, and Dongwon Shopping District, was prepared to revitalize traditional markets that have been stagnant due to COVID-19 and to reduce the holiday expenses burden on local residents.

In addition, in line with the untact era, an online delivery service for traditional markets has been launched, completing thorough preparations so that residents can shop with greater peace of mind.

Looking at the main details by market, visitors to Dongwon Traditional General Market from the 15th to the 30th can receive an eco bag for purchases over 20,000 won and a market gift certificate for purchases over 30,000 won. Woorim Alley Market, where the event runs until the 29th, offers Onnuri gift certificates for purchases over 20,000 won, and at Myeonmok Alley Market, customers purchasing ritual items can receive Onnuri gift certificates and prizes through a lottery.

At Dongwon Traditional Market Shopping District, customers who purchase over 10,000 won or pay over 5,000 won via Zero Pay can receive an eco bag, and those who purchase over 30,000 won or pay over 20,000 won via Zero Pay can receive Onnuri gift certificates.

At Sagajeong Market, customers who purchase over 10,000 won will receive prizes, Jungnang Dongbu Market offers Onnuri gift certificates and souvenirs for purchases over 30,000 won, and Jangmi Jeil Market plans to lend shopping baskets to visitors and provide Onnuri gift certificates for purchases over 30,000 won.

Additionally, the district announced that it will pilot an online delivery service targeting four traditional markets (Woorim, Dongwon, Sagajeong, Dongwon Shopping District) and plans to expand the service to all traditional markets in the area by next year.

By using the non-face-to-face online service, fresh ingredients and various foods from traditional markets can be delivered within two hours to your home.

Residents wishing to use the service can search for ‘Dongne Market Shopping’ on the Naver portal search bar, then access the page through the ‘Dongwon Traditional General Market’ or ‘Woorim Market’ banners, or download the ‘Coupang Eats’ app and search for ‘Sagajeong Market’ or ‘Dongwon Traditional Market Shopping District’ to place orders.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “Many traditional market merchants are experiencing unprecedented difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. We have prepared various events and a non-face-to-face online delivery service for the major national holiday Chuseok, so we hope residents will actively use traditional markets.”
