[Wando=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 15th that it will hold various abalone promotion events to celebrate Chobok (the first of the three hottest days in summer).

The county said that although it had held the ‘On Boknal, Abalone Day’ event since 2014, it had been subdued due to COVID-19. This time, the abalone promotion event will be conducted both offline through large retail stores such as E-Mart, Lotte Mart, and Top Mart, and online through the Post Office Shopping Mall and Wando-gun e-Shop.

At the opening ceremony of the abalone promotion event held on the 14th at E-Mart Seongsu Branch, about 10 people including Shin Woo-cheol, Wando County Governor, Kim Soo-mi, Wando County Public Relations Ambassador, Kim Wi-woong, Chairman of the Jaegyeong Wando County Hometown Association, Lee Yuk-han, Chairman of the Abalone Producers Association, and E-Mart officials attended and signed a business agreement between E-Mart and Wando-gun to promote and expand sales of Wando specialties.

The county has prepared for abalone to be sold at up to 25% discount at six local food direct stores in Hwaseong City, Gyeonggi-do, a sister city, for three days starting today, and a direct transaction market operated by the Namdo Abalone Federation will also be held at the Bongdam main store.

In addition, at the Post Office Shopping Mall and Wando-gun e-Shop, customers can receive up to a 30% discount on abalone purchases until Malbok (the last of the three hottest days), which falls on the 15th of next month.

Wando abalone, which grows eating kelp and seaweed from the clean sea, contains abundant vitamins, iron, calcium, potassium, and protein, and is called the ‘ginseng of the sea,’ regarded as the best health food in summer.

In particular, research results showing that abalone viscera extract is effective in inhibiting the proliferation of the COVID-19 virus were published in the latest issue of Marine Drugs, a world-renowned academic journal in the field of marine pharmaceuticals.
