[Asia Economy Yeongnam News Bureau, Lee Dongguk] The Stage Saturday Market, hosted by the city of Gumi and organized by the Seonsan-eup Urban Regeneration Residents' Council, announced the start of its second half of the year operations by opening for nighttime hours (5 PM to 9 PM) on August 20.

This nighttime opening was planned to allow visitors to enjoy the romance and culture of midsummer nights during the August heat. The event will begin with a group performance by the Seonsan Bonghwangnori Troupe, followed by stage performances from Park Sanghyun, Lim Taesu, and Pantalong Stocking, aiming to provide a feast for the eyes and ears of market visitors.

The Stage Saturday Market is part of the "Seonsan-in, Again Sunshain" project, which was selected as a 2022 Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport urban regeneration preliminary project. The market is scheduled to operate a total of 12 times from May to November 2022, with sessions in September taking place on the 3rd and 24th from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

The Residents' Council is operating a seller history system to ensure that customers can trust the products at the market. They are carefully preparing a variety of items, including fresh seasonal produce and food from the local area, handmade goods, and various accessories. Additionally, a range of cultural performances and hands-on programs are being offered to make the market a lively and culturally rich event.

Lee Changsu, head of the Urban Regeneration Division, stated, "Gumi City and the Urban Regeneration Residents' Council are working to revitalize the local economy through the Seonsan Stage Saturday Market. All our members are voluntarily dedicating themselves with passion and commitment to regional development and urban regeneration. We ask for your encouragement, interest, and participation in the market."
