[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Dong-gu Council of Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 6th that it held a traditional market shopping event to celebrate the Chuseok holiday.

The Dong-gu Council conducted the shopping event at traditional markets within the district, including Namgwangju Market, Daein Market, and Sansu Market, to revitalize the traditional markets and local economy, which have been stagnant due to COVID-19 and high inflation.
