Yangcheon-gu Chuseok Direct Market Opening
Opening with Two Methods: Untact Phone Orders and Offline Market
[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Sooyoung) will open a direct transaction market for Chuseok from the 15th to the 24th.
This year's 'Chuseok Direct Transaction Market,' opened in two ways: untact phone orders and an offline market, aims to supply excellent local specialties to residents at affordable prices. At the same time, it is expected to contribute to revitalizing economic exchanges between urban and rural areas by helping increase sales for farms facing economic difficulties due to the suspension of school meals and decreased consumption of agricultural and marine products caused by the spread of COVID-19.
The untact phone order market will operate from the 15th to the 22nd. Residents who wish to purchase can place orders by phone to the Yangcheon-gu Office Job Economy Division or the local community center staff. Producers will confirm payment and directly ship the products to the orderer's address via courier.
Meanwhile, the offline market will be held for two days from the 23rd to the 24th at the Haenuri Town (81 Mokdongdong-ro, Yangcheon-gu) Fountain Square. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, a quarantine officer will be designated to oversee all quarantine management from preparation to the end of the event, and quarantine rules will be strictly followed. The scale of the event will be smaller than in previous years.
Additionally, products from Yangcheon-gu’s sister cities, including Ganghwa-gun, Buyeo-gun, and Suncheon-si, such as local specialties and various holiday ritual items, will be sold. For residents' convenience, free delivery service within Yangcheon-gu will also be supported.

Kim Sooyoung, Mayor of Yangcheon-gu, stated, “The Chuseok Direct Transaction Market is a golden opportunity to purchase fresh and high-quality agricultural and marine products at affordable prices through direct transactions without distribution processes.” He added, “Also, the offline market will strictly adhere to quarantine rules by designating a quarantine officer to prevent any possible spread of COVID-19, so we ask residents to visit with peace of mind.”
