Korea Island Promotion Agency's 'Traditional Market Shopping' Campaign for Chuseok

The Korea Island Development Institute (KIDI, President Oh Dong-ho) carried out a 'Traditional Market Accompaniment Campaign' at Mokpo Dongbu Market on the 27th in celebration of the Chuseok holiday.

According to KIDI on the 27th, this campaign was organized to revitalize local traditional markets and promote consumption, with the participation of about 30 executives and employees, including President Oh Dong-ho.

Wearing sashes that read "Shopping at Traditional Markets," the executives and employees toured various parts of the market to purchase holiday ritual items and gifts.

They also listened to the difficulties faced by merchants struggling with high prices and declining sales.

Oh Myung-seok, president of the Dongbu Market Merchants Association, expressed gratitude, saying, "Thanks to visits and warm accompaniment campaigns by KIDI and various organizations, the market is lively for the first time in a while."

Oh Dong-ho, president of KIDI, said, "I hope this event has been of some help to the merchants who are struggling due to the economic downturn," adding, "We will do our best to contribute to revitalizing the local economy and coexistence through small actions such as shopping at local traditional markets."

Meanwhile, KIDI has been conducting various campaigns during holidays since the last Lunar New Year to revitalize traditional markets and realize a happy community.
