[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) will issue an additional 13 billion KRW worth of Gangnam Love Gift Certificates starting at 10 a.m. on the 24th to boost sales for small business owners struggling due to COVID-19 and to revitalize the local economy during the Chuseok holiday.


The newly issued Gangnam Love Gift Certificates come in three denominations: 10,000 KRW, 50,000 KRW, and 100,000 KRW, and can be purchased at a discounted price within a monthly limit of 700,000 KRW per person.


Residents using the gift certificates will receive a 30% income deduction benefit. If more than 80% of the gift certificate's face value is used, the remaining balance can be refunded. Additionally, if consumers request a refund within 7 days without using the purchased gift certificates, they can receive a full refund.
