Jangseong-gun to Distribute 'Filial Piety Coupons' Before Chuseok

[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Yoo Dooseok) will distribute the 4th quarter Hyo-do coupons, originally scheduled for next month, early before the start of the Chuseok holiday.

According to the county on the 10th, this project supports residents aged 65 and over with Hyo-do coupons that combine bath and beauty service vouchers, providing 45,000 KRW per person quarterly, totaling 180,000 KRW annually.

This year, about 12,700 people are eligible for support, and the coupons can be used at 103 bath and beauty establishments within the region.

The county decided to distribute the coupons early before the Chuseok holiday and started payments from this month, with distribution work currently in the final stages at the eup and myeon levels.

The Hyo-do coupons serve not only to enhance elderly welfare but also act as a pillar for revitalizing the local economy.

They also help concentrate beauty service demand within Jangseong, preventing outflow to other regions and supporting the business stability of small merchants.

Governor Yoo Dooseok said, “We anticipated high demand for bath and beauty services among the elderly during the holiday, so we decided on early distribution. It is also expected to contribute to the local economy, which has been weakened by COVID-19.”
