[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters (Jeju) Reporter Park Chang-won] Jeju Special Self-Governing Province announced that the Jeju-type electronic entry log application ‘Jeju Ansim Code,’ based on blockchain technology, recorded 100,000 subscribers and 6,000 QR code-attached and operated business sites as of the 11th, just three weeks after its official launch.


The Jeju Ansim Code, an electronic entry log system, was established with the primary goal of quickly identifying COVID-19 confirmed patients’ visit histories and contacts, aiming to effectively respond to cluster infections.


It significantly improved on the shortcomings of the existing electronic entry log (KI-Pass).


KI-Pass required each business site to separately equip a reader device, causing financial burdens, which have now been resolved. Additionally, with this introduction, the province’s own epidemiological investigation system linked to Jeju Ansim Code has been established, allowing active use in basic epidemiological investigations.


Jeju Province plans to launch an intensive promotion campaign for three weeks from today until the 31st to encourage active use by residents and business owners.


In particular, installation of Jeju Ansim Code will be strongly recommended for 12 types of priority management facilities and 18 types of general management facilities.


Furthermore, it will be widely promoted at major tourist attractions such as Jeju’s public and airports, eight major tourism clusters within the province, and luxury hotels.


Users of facilities with Jeju Ansim Code installed can search for and install Jeju Ansim Code from the Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS).


After identity verification during initial registration, simple entry authentication using QR codes is possible. Jeju Ansim Code will be used for confirmed patient epidemiological investigations.



A quarantine authority official said, “Jeju Ansim Code, which enables rapid basic epidemiological investigations, is expected to reduce the spread of secondary infections and alleviate the burden on frontline epidemiological investigation personnel.”
