[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Park Jun-hee, the mayor of Gwanak-gu, visited traditional markets in the area during the Lunar New Year holiday to purchase ritual items using Onnuri gift certificates and Zero Pay, injecting vitality into the local economy.

Over two days on the 4th and 5th, Mayor Park visited four locations: Jungbu Market, Inheon Market, Samseong-dong Market, and Gwanak Sinsa Market. He purchased goods directly on-site, listened to the merchants' difficulties, and promised to make every effort to revitalize the local economy, which has been struggling due to COVID-19.

He also encouraged residents who came to shop to use Onnuri gift certificates and Zero Pay, and promoted the Gwanak Love Gift Certificate, which was launched on the 5th.

The district issued 18 billion won worth of Gwanak Love Gift Certificates starting at 10 a.m. on the 5th, adding a special 10% discount to actively stimulate consumption. This is expected to bring significant vitality to the local commercial districts ahead of the holiday season.

Park Jun-hee, mayor of Gwanak-gu, said, “I ask all residents to actively participate in revitalizing consumption, which has been subdued due to COVID-19, by using traditional markets and the Gwanak Love Gift Certificate.”
