[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Sung) held the ‘Byeolbyeol Market’ at Guro Neighborhood Park on the 23rd.

The program consists of an eco-friendly flea market practicing resource circulation by selling and exchanging secondhand goods, a handmade market where residents sell handcrafted items, a performance stage featuring local middle school dance clubs and others, and an experience area where residents can participate and enjoy activities such as board games, giant soap bubbles, and making grass dolls.

Residents wishing to participate in the flea market or handmade market at the Byeolbyeol Market held on the 23rd can scan the QR code on the promotional poster and fill out the Google Form application by the 20th.
