This crackdown is being conducted to eradicate illegal circulation as the issuance and distribution of Cheongsong Sarang Currency have expanded due to a 10% ongoing discount event and policy allowances (such as the farmers and fishermen allowance and delivery fee support).


To this end, the county has formed an inspection team of five members in one unit, collaborating with the Cheongsong Sarang Currency system operator and sales agency representatives to carry out the crackdown. Additionally, an illegal circulation reporting center will be operated continuously, and active promotion targeting affiliated stores will be conducted to establish a sound distribution order.


The main targets of the crackdown include ▲affiliated stores operating in industries restricted from registration ▲receiving gift certificates without selling goods or providing services ▲acting as an agent to exchange gift certificates improperly received by individual affiliated stores ▲receiving gift certificates through transactions exceeding actual sales amounts ▲affiliated store owners continuously purchasing and exchanging gift certificates under another person's name, among others.


For affiliated stores caught in the crackdown, measures such as ▲correction and recommendation ▲cancellation or suspension of affiliated store registration ▲recovery of unfair profits ▲imposition of fines will be taken according to the severity of illegal circulation based on relevant laws. In particular, if serious illegal circulation is suspected, a request for police investigation will be made.



County Governor Yoon Kyung-hee said, “To invigorate the local economy through the issuance of Cheongsong Sarang Currency, establishing a sound distribution order is essential first,” and added, “We plan to enhance the policy’s credibility through continuous monitoring and ask for the active cooperation of residents and small business owners.”
