[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do, will start accepting applications for the ‘Integrated Cultural Use Voucher (Munhwa Nuri Card)’ from the 1st of next month to provide cultural enjoyment opportunities to economically disadvantaged groups, improve quality of life, and reduce cultural gaps.

According to Yeonggwang-gun on the 29th, eligible applicants can apply by phone or through the Munhwa Nuri Card website starting from the 1st of next month, or visit the town or township office with their ID to apply in person.

The two biggest changes in this year’s program are, first, the individual support amount has been increased from the previous 90,000 won to 100,000 won per person, and second, the implementation of an automatic recharge system.

The automatic recharge system provides 100,000 won support to existing cardholders who maintain eligibility, and after the automatic recharge of 100,000 won, a text message was sent to the registered phone numbers on the 28th and 29th.

Eligible beneficiaries include basic livelihood security recipients aged 6 and older and legally designated lower-income groups. Each individual can receive one Munhwa Nuri Card to watch performances, movies, exhibitions, sports games, or purchase cultural products such as books and music albums. The card can also be used for hotel and pension accommodations.

A county official said, “We hope that the Munhwa Nuri Card program will expand opportunities for cultural enjoyment among residents,” and added, “We will work closely with town and township offices to ensure thorough preparation for issuance and promotion of the program.”
