Boseong-gun, BS Samchongsa Emoticons... 2nd Distribution on the 16th
‘Boseong-gun Office’ Kakao Channel Addition Event for the First 35,000 Participants
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Boseong County (Governor Kim Cheol-woo) announced on the 12th that it will distribute the second batch of the Boseong County specialty product character ‘BS Samchongsa’ emoticons, which caused a sold-out frenzy last year, on the 16th.
The emoticons will be released for free, and if you search for ‘Boseong County Office’ on the KakaoTalk channel and add the channel, a download message will be sent around 2 PM on the 16th.
The emoticons being released this time consist of a total of 16 types and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis to 35,000 people, with a usage period of 30 days from the 16th of this month to the 15th of next month.
The ‘BS Samchongsa,’ which has received great love through the emoticon release, won the grand prize at the ‘Our Neighborhood Character’ contest hosted by the Content Promotion Agency last year, becoming the best character in Korea.
At the end of last year, Boseong County released the BS Samchongsa emoticons as a thank-you event to commemorate the character’s grand prize win, and they were sold out within 10 minutes of distribution.
A representative from Boseong County Office said, “After the first event ended, many people who missed out requested a re-release, so we planned and prepared the second event,” adding, “Recently, as the usage period of the emoticons distributed in the first event expired, even more requests came in, and we are honored to hold the second event with the love of many people.”
Additionally, from the 16th to the 19th, the county will hold a YouTube subscription event for KakaoTalk channel friends, giving away various prizes including Boseong green tea.
The winners will be announced on the 23rd, with a total of 70 people selected.
