Also, the calligraphy cheering message writing and 3D pen experience events drew great responses from residents who visited the event venue.

Chairperson Jo Ae-sook said, "Due to COVID-19, village events were greatly reduced and the village was quiet for a while, but with this flea market, it feels like the neighborhood has come back to life."

Kim Sam-rye, chairman of the Residents' Autonomy Committee, said, "We will make sure that the village flea market, which is this year's village agenda, is held regularly and established as a place for residents' communication and festivals."
