Gangseo-gu, Seoul, is supporting 'event hosting' and 'online sales' to revitalize traditional markets, where consumer sentiment has weakened ahead of Chuseok. The district announced on the 21st that various 'event activities' such as discounts on ritual items and 'online discount sales' will be held until the 1st of next month.

Kkachisan Market will provide prizes necessary for preparing holiday foods, such as sesame oil and pancake mix, through a receipt lottery for customers who purchase more than 30,000 won on the 21st and 22nd of this month. Hwagok Bon-dong Market will hold a 'discount event on ritual items (10%~30%)' until the 1st of next month, and Hwagok Jungang Market will conduct a 'helping furniture in need sharing event' on the 22nd and an 'instant lottery ticket giveaway event' for customers who purchase more than 30,000 won.

An 'online special discount sale' has also been planned. Kkachisan Market and Hwagok Jungang Market are collaborating with Coupang Eats to offer a 4,500 won discount when purchasing products over 15,000 won. Hwagok Bon-dong Market and Nambu Golmok Market provide an immediate 30% discount on product prices when purchasing through Naver Neighborhood Market Shopping. The maximum discount limit is 10,000 won.

According to the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Small Enterprise and Market Service, the cost of preparing a Chuseok ancestral table (for four people) is on average 295,939 won at traditional markets and 367,056 won at large supermarkets, showing that traditional markets are about 71,117 won (19.4%) cheaper than large supermarkets.
