Gangnam-gu Hosts Sodamsodam Byeolbyeol Market

On the 15th from 10 AM to 4 PM at the District Office Main Building 1st Floor... The first solo market selling cookies, scented candles, soaps, etc. produced by 5 disability vocational rehabilitation facilities

Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jo Seong-myeong) will hold the ‘Sodamsodam Byeolbyeol Market,’ selling signature products from Gangnam-gu’s vocational rehabilitation facilities for people with disabilities, on the 15th from 10 AM to 4 PM on the first floor of the district office main building.

Gangnam-gu has a total of nine vocational rehabilitation facilities for people with disabilities that produce goods, receive donations, and provide vocational training. Among them, five facilities that sell products will participate in this market to promote and sell their items.

While these facilities have previously participated in events such as direct sales markets during holidays and Disability Day events to showcase their products, this is the first time they are opening a standalone market.

The event name, ‘Sodamsodam Byeolbyeol Market,’ carries the meaning of hoping for a fulfilling (Sodamsodam) day through special items made by special people.

At the market, facility staff and workers with disabilities will personally introduce the products made at their facilities.

The representative products from each facility include ▲ bread, cookies, soap, and soap flower baskets from Gangnam Saeum Protective Workshop ▲ scented candles from Raphael Vocational Rehabilitation Center ▲ cosmetic soap from Milal Green Protective Workshop ▲ cookies from La Grange Protective Workshop ▲ kitchen detergent and hand wash from Seongmo Jae Protective Workshop. Especially for the Chuseok holiday, charming gift sets such as bakery sets and handmade soap sets are prepared to captivate consumers.

Jo Seong-myeong, Mayor of Gangnam-gu, stated, “I hope this opportunity to promote and sell high-quality products made by people with disabilities will contribute to improving awareness of disabilities,” and added, “We will continue to support the activation of vocational rehabilitation facilities where people with disabilities can work and participate in society in various ways.”
