[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] A traditional craft exhibition and experience event will be held at Namsa Yedamchon in Sancheong, Gyeongnam, a place full of the old ancestors' atmosphere with traditional old houses and the couple's camellia tree.

From May 4 to 8, the "15th Sancheong-gun Craft Association Exhibition, Sale, and Experience Event" will take place at Namsa Yedamchon in Danseong-myeon.

This event is hosted and organized by Sancheong-gun and the Sancheong-gun Craft Association, where 27 association members will showcase about 60 works including pottery, hanji (traditional Korean paper), textiles, leather, and woodworking crafts.

Members will submit various works and operate traditional craft experience booths as well as craft and agricultural specialty product sales booths.

On the first day of the event, May 4 at 2 p.m., Gyeongnam’s representative performing arts group "Geukdan Keundeul" will perform a pungmul (traditional Korean folk music) performance praying for the successful holding of the event and the well-being of the residents, marking the start of the event.

During the event period, a "Sancheong Love Gift Certificate Payback Event" will also be held at shops around Namsa Yedamchon. Customers who spend more than 50,000 KRW in a day at shops, lodging facilities, restaurants, cafes, marts, etc., and submit their receipts will receive a 10,000 KRW Sancheong Love Gift Certificate (up to 20,000 KRW per person per day).

Zero Pay can also be used at the event venue and surrounding shops, allowing more economical purchases of crafts and use of nearby stores. By purchasing the "Online Sancheong Love Gift Certificate" through the Zero Pay mobile app, customers can buy and use gift certificates at a 10% discounted price.

This year, a recently spotlighted new online sales method called "live commerce" will be introduced. The Sancheong craft live commerce sales event will communicate in real-time with consumers nationwide on May 7 and 8.

To participate, install the "Grip" app from the smartphone Play Store or App Store, sign up as a Grip member, search for "Ppalgang Lemon" in the Grip search bar, click Follow, and then place an order.

Park Young-jin, president of the Sancheong-gun Craft Association, said, "Through this event, we hope to raise the status of Sancheong artisans and help the local economy that has suffered due to COVID-19."

A county official said, "We thank the artisans who have worked hard to inherit and develop the traditional craft industry based on craftsmanship," and added, "We will continue to do our best for the development of our local traditional craft industry and the nurturing of artisans."
