[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced that from the 29th of last month to the 10th, a 12-day traditional market shopping event was held with county officials and related organizations to revitalize the traditional markets that have been stagnant ahead of the major national holiday, Seollal.

This shopping event was conducted to support traditional market merchants who are economically struggling due to COVID-19 and the spread of large retail stores, with about 200 participants including county officials and related organization personnel.

The event was held on the regular market days of each traditional market, with visiting schedules divided by market, while adhering to COVID-19 prevention guidelines.

Governor Kim San said, “We held this event to create a warm holiday atmosphere and contribute to revitalizing the local economy in celebration of Seollal, the great national holiday,” and added, “We ask everyone to comply with prevention measures such as wearing masks and using hand sanitizer when visiting traditional markets to prevent COVID-19.”

Meanwhile, Muan traditional markets operate as five-day markets: Muan-eup opens on the 4th and 9th of every month, and Illo-eup and Mangun-myeon open on the 1st and 6th. Muan Love Gift Certificates and Onnuri Gift Certificates can be used there.
