Danggeun Market, 150 Million Secondhand Transactions Connected This Year
Neighborhood Life Posts More Than Double... Strengthening the Local Community Aspect
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Carrot Market, a leading local community platform in Korea (co-CEOs Kim Yong-hyun and Kim Jae-hyun), announced on the 31st that the number of connections made through secondhand transactions between neighbors on Carrot Market this year exceeded 150 million, an increase of about 30% compared to last year.
The resource circulation effect through resource reuse over one year is equivalent to planting 52.4 million pine trees and corresponds to a reduction of 7.32 million tons of greenhouse gases. Neighborly sharing activities also continued actively. Over 3.88 million sharing cases were recorded throughout the year, representing an increase of about 82% compared to last year.
On the local community bulletin board "Dongne Saenghwal" (Neighborhood Life), about 30 million exchanges and communications took place. Since its launch in September last year, the number of posts in the fourth quarter of this year more than doubled compared to the same period last year. Dongne Saenghwal allows neighbors who have completed local verification to share useful local information or news, while strictly blocking advertising and promotional posts.
Additionally, Carrot Market supported over 200 million connections between local stores and neighborhood residents through Biz Profile over the past year. Launched in February this year, Biz Profile is a channel for small and medium-sized business owners operating stores within the local living area to promote their stores and communicate with nearby residents. Within 11 months of service launch, it has secured 13 million users.
