[Haenam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jeonnam Haenam-gun announced on the 18th that all services related to the Haenam Sarang Gift Certificate (paper, card), including sales and exchange, will be temporarily suspended from midnight on the 20th until 6 a.m. on the 25th.

The service suspension is due to a data upgrade operation by the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation, which operates the program. As a result, gift certificate services in 60 local governments nationwide that have business agreements with the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation will be temporarily halted.

Services unavailable during the suspension period include access to gift certificate-related apps and web services, card-type gift certificate charging, payment (including cancellations) and refunds, purchase and exchange of paper gift certificates, and use of Haenam Sarang card gift certificates via NongHyup check cards.

Once the upgrade work is completed, it is expected that stable DB management and operation will minimize inconveniences such as system access delays and service interruptions.

Due to the temporary suspension making gift certificate purchases impossible, Haenam-gun will extend the 10% special sale event for Haenam Sarang Gift Certificates (up to 1 million KRW) by one month until the 30th of next month.

A county official said, “We anticipate considerable inconvenience to residents and franchise owners due to the temporary suspension of gift certificate sales and exchange services, but we ask for understanding and cooperation as this is a necessary measure with the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation to efficiently manage the gift certificates.”
