From now on, seafood can be purchased using Onnuri gift certificates at the Noryangjin Fish Market in Seoul.


On the 16th, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and the Ministry of SMEs and Startups announced that the first-floor retail area and the second-floor restaurant zone of Noryangjin Fish Market were designated as a 'Golmok-type Shopping District' on the 4th, enabling the acceptance of Onnuri gift certificates.


Previously, the two ministries announced a cooperation plan to resolve the issue of using Onnuri gift certificates in seafood wholesale markets by utilizing the Golmok-type Shopping District system under the 'Special Act on the Promotion of Traditional Markets and Shopping Districts' to promote seafood consumption.


Park Seong-hoon, Vice Minister of Oceans and Fisheries, and Oh Ki-woong, Vice Minister of SMEs and Startups, visited Noryangjin Fish Market that afternoon to inform consumers about the acceptance of Onnuri gift certificates by purchasing seafood with the certificates themselves and listening to merchants' opinions.



Vice Minister Park said, "I hope that with the use of Onnuri gift certificates this time, Noryangjin Fish Market will regain vitality and become a market loved by the public."
