Hamyang Gotgam First Sale Ceremony

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam, will hold a special sales event from the 7th to the 9th at Sangnim Park to secure sales channels for dried persimmon producers and revitalize the local economy amid the continuous contraction of consumer sentiment caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

At the special sales venue set up around Sangnim Park, visitors can purchase premium Hamyang dried persimmons, which are chewy and soft, along with various agricultural specialty products at prices 10% to 20% lower than usual.

On the first day, starting with a non-face-to-face shopping live broadcast sale and an opening ceremony, there will be a performance by Kim Young-geun, the Hamyang-born winner of Superstar K, and a dried persimmon food show filming with famous chef Lee Won-il, showcasing dishes that allow people of various ages to easily enjoy dried persimmons.

On the second day, two cable broadcasts, including the small business broadcast "Wonderful My Hometown" and Won-eum Broadcasting, will be filmed. The cast includes comedians Kang Jin, Park Jeong-sik, Kim Guk-hwan, and Kim Jong-ha.

This special sales event will be conducted strictly following the government's quarantine guidelines.

Seo Chun-soo, the mayor of Hamyang-gun, said, "I hope the Hamyang Gojongsi dried persimmon special sales event, prepared with the united efforts of our farmers and residents, will be a great success," and added, "We ask for active participation for the local farmers and Hamyang-gun who are experiencing difficulties during the COVID-19 period."

Meanwhile, Park Hyo-gi, chairman of the Dried Persimmon Festival Committee, stated, "For those who find it difficult to visit Hamyang, purchases can also be made through Naver Shopping Live, and free shipping will be provided during the special sales event period, so we hope for many participants."
