Gongneung Dokkaebi Market Prize: One Don of Gold!... Nowon-gu Hosts Traditional Market Event for the Holiday

Events Held at Gongneung-dong Dokkaebi Market and Sangye Central Market for Chuseok Holiday
Additional 2 Billion Won Nowon Love Gift Certificates Issued at 12 PM on September 10

Nowon-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Oh Seung-rok) announced that it will hold a 'Traditional Market Chuseok Event' to celebrate the Chuseok holiday.

This is to support practical shopping for residents whose consumer sentiment has been weakened due to the ongoing economic downturn and soaring prices, and to revitalize local traditional markets and nearby commercial districts.

The event will be held at the representative local traditional markets: ▲Gongneung-dong Dokkaebi Market (53 Dongil-ro 180-gil) ▲Sanggye Central Market (24 Sanggye-ro 23ga-gil). Seasonal items such as dried yellow corvina and apples, which see a surge in demand, will be sold at reasonable prices with discounts of up to 20%, and small additional benefits will be provided through market-specific events.

First, at Gongneung-dong Dokkaebi Market, customers who visit the market and purchase more than 20,000 won on the day of their visit from September 11 to 12 will receive a 'raffle ticket.' A total of 11 winners from 1st to 4th place will be drawn, and participants can win various prizes such as gold (one don), an oven-type air fryer, and Onnuri gift certificates (50,000 won).

The drawing will take place at 6 p.m. on the 12th, and the drawing video will be posted on the Gongneung-dong Dokkaebi Market website, YouTube, and Kakao Channel.

Additionally, customers who purchase more than 30,000 won on the day of their visit will be given a market-produced insulated hot/cold pouch on a first-come, first-served basis to encourage market use.

At Sanggye Central Market, the event will be held from the 13th to the 14th. Customers who purchase more than 30,000 won will receive a 5,000 won Onnuri gift certificate, and those who purchase more than 50,000 won will receive a 10,000 won Onnuri gift certificate, both on a first-come, first-served basis.

Along with this, to reduce the burden of holiday shopping for residents, the district issued an additional 2 billion won worth of Nowon Love Gift Certificates at 12:00 noon on the 10th, following the first issuance of 8 billion won on the 3rd. Consumers can purchase up to 500,000 won per person combining the first and second rounds at a 5% discount from the face value of the gift certificates. Purchases and payments can be made through the dedicated app, Seoul Pay Plus.

District Mayor Oh Seung-rok said, “Due to the record-breaking heatwave, this year’s crop yield has been poor, and many residents are struggling with higher perceived prices than ever before. I hope everyone has a bountiful Chuseok with practical shopping through this Chuseok event.”
