[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters reporters Song Jong-gu and Choi Soon-kyung] BNK Gyeongnam Bank donated "50 million KRW worth of traditional market gift certificates" to Jinju City, Gyeongnam, in celebration of Chuseok, the largest traditional Korean holiday.

On August 31, President Choi Hong-young visited Jinju City Hall and presented the "Traditional Market Gift Certificate Donation Certificate" to Mayor Jo Gyu-il.

The 50 million KRW worth of traditional market gift certificates donated by BNK Gyeongnam Bank will be distributed to 1,000 households of marginalized groups, including low-income families, elderly living alone, and child-headed households recommended by Jinju City through the Gyeongnam Community Chest of Korea.

President Choi said, "As Chuseok is the largest traditional holiday, I hope that not only the marginalized but all local residents can spend it abundantly without lack, just like the saying 'May every day be like Chuseok.' I also hope that this Chuseok will be a warm time of sharing kindness between the marginalized who will purchase Chuseok ritual items with the traditional market gift certificates and the market merchants who will sell them."

BNK Gyeongnam Bank is delivering traditional market gift certificates and local love gift certificates worth a total of 386 million KRW to about 7,700 marginalized households in Gyeongnam and Ulsan, including Jinju City, before Chuseok.

In addition, the bank plans to deliver 15 million KRW in Lily Sharing Association funds, raised by combining donations collected from employees' monthly salaries and bank contributions, to 30 welfare institutions in Gyeongnam and Ulsan regions.
