[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] KT Alpha announced on the 16th that it will support the issuance and delivery of 'Nongchon Sarang Mobile Gift Certificates' for COVID-19 home treatment patients in Goyang City. This is the first nationwide case where a local government provides mobile gift certificates instead of physical relief supplies such as instant food and canned goods.


On the 15th, KT Alpha signed a business agreement with Goyang City and NH Nonghyup Goyang Branch to support individual COVID-19 relief supplies, deciding to support the issuance and delivery of 'Nongchon Sarang Mobile Gift Certificates' to ensure stable quarantine life and minimum living conditions for COVID-19 home treatment patients in the area. Each home treatment patient will receive gift certificates worth 35,000 KRW.


Based on the business agreement with Goyang City, KT Alpha plans to promptly issue gift certificates to COVID-19 home treatment patients in Goyang City and actively support the smooth use of the mobile gift certificates.


The Nongchon Sarang Mobile Gift Certificates can be exchanged for paper gift certificates at Nonghyup, Livestock Cooperatives, NH Nonghyup Bank nationwide, and Goyang and Samsong distribution centers. They can be used like cash at Nonghyup Hanaro Mart, Nonghyup gas stations, as well as major dining franchises such as Ttorae Orae. Additionally, they can be converted into online points at Nonghyup Mall and NH Members.


Jung Kiho, CEO of KT Alpha, said, "This is the first case where mobile gift certificates replace physical relief supplies," adding, "We will actively support COVID-19 home treatment patients in Goyang City to return to their daily lives as soon as possible."



Meanwhile, KT Alpha has been exclusively distributing and issuing Nongchon Sarang Mobile Gift Certificates since 2019 through collaboration with Nonghyup. As the only operator distributing six major domestic gift certificates including Shinsegae and Lotte, KT Alpha continues to strive to discover differentiated and independent product lineups.
