Kim Junghyun, Public Relations Officer of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, said, "Although we have passed through the long tunnel of COVID-19 and entered the path of daily recovery, our real economy situation is not good," adding, "We prepared this contest because it is important for all citizens to participate in a big festival and also promote domestic consumption."
