Yongsan-gu Hosts Non-Face-to-Face Flea Market in Cheongpa-dong

To Communicate with Local Residents and Contribute to the Spread of Sharing Culture... All Profits to Be Donated

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] The Cheongpa-dong Community Service Center in Yongsan-gu (Director Jeong Yungwon) held a "Wise Consumption Life, Non-face-to-face Flea Market."

The event aimed to raise awareness of resource recycling through the sale of secondhand goods and to contribute to the spread of a culture of communication and sharing among local residents.

The flea market was held over four days. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, a non-face-to-face method was adopted. Photos of the items for sale were posted in the community center lobby, and residents selected the products they liked and submitted a bid with their desired price on an entry form.

The items for sale were usable goods brought from households by the community center staff. Entry forms were accepted for three weekdays starting from the 4th. On the 9th, the entry box was opened, and residents who wrote the highest bids were notified of their winning status.

Winners visit the community center, pay the amount, and collect their items. All proceeds from the non-face-to-face flea market will be meaningfully used to help residents in need.

Jeong Yungwon, director of Cheongpa-dong, said, "Due to the ongoing spread of COVID-19, it has been difficult to meet local residents directly, so we held a non-face-to-face flea market to create a communication channel. Through this event, we shared the joy of a culture of sharing with residents, and the proceeds will be donated to neighbors in need."
