Pohang Heunghae Market's Oil Jang Buzzes with 'Nostalgic DJ Box'... Big Hit in Public Contest Project

Selected for Heunghae Special Urban Regeneration Autonomous Public Contest, Gaining 'Popularity'

Visitors at Pohang Heunghae Market are requesting songs that contain their personal stories.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Amid various resident contest projects being promoted under Pohang City's Heunghae Special Regeneration Plan, the broadcasting program of Heunghae Market, a representative traditional market in the region, is gaining great popularity.

According to Pohang City on the 15th, Heunghae Market's 'Nostalgic DJ Box' is an idea from the Heunghae-eup Volunteer Hub Center (Director Choi Sam-seong), selected in the March contest project, and is operated on a limited basis on the 12th and 22nd of each month until November.

With the catchphrase "Heunghae-ra, today is Heunghae Market Day!", the 'Nostalgic DJ Box' allows anyone visiting the market to submit stories and song requests to the Heunghae Market broadcasting room, which then introduces them through Heunghae Market's own broadcast. In addition, those who submit stories and visitors with birthdays on market days receive small gifts made directly by the Heunghae-eup Volunteer Hub Center.

The Heunghae Field Support Center, responsible for resident contest projects, supports several resident contest projects including creating shared village spaces in Heunghae and producing the Heunghae village newsletter, besides the 'Nostalgic DJ Box'.

Kim Hyun-seok, head of the Safety City Project Division of Pohang City, said, "Special urban regeneration projects yield better results when residents directly come up with ideas and participate together," adding, "We plan to conduct one more contest project in the second half of this year."
