Competition with 10 Teams Participating Held on the 24th at Myeonmok-dong Five-Way Children's Park

Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) will select the representative chef of Jungnang-gu on the 24th.

This event, titled the "Myeonmok Market Our Neighborhood Cooking Contest," will be held at the Myeonmok-dong Five-way Intersection Children's Park.

The event is supported by Jungnang-gu and organized by the Myeonmok Market Merchants Association to promote the revitalization of the local traditional market and to introduce the various charms of Myeonmok Market to the residents.

Ten groups composed of local residents, including ▲ Myeonmok 7-dong Saemaeul Women's Association ▲ Junggok Elementary School Parents' Group ▲ Myeonmok 4-dong Autonomous Women's Crime Prevention Unit ▲ Sagajeong Volunteer Society, will participate in the cooking contest, with about 200 merchants and local residents enjoying the event together.

Each group will purchase necessary ingredients within Myeonmok Market according to the allocated budget before the contest, and on the day of the contest, each group will prepare dishes for 100 servings.

On the day of the contest, about 200 visitors will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis to receive tasting tickets. After tasting, the votes from the tasting panel will be tallied, and the team with the most votes will be declared the winner. The winning team will receive Onnuri gift certificates worth 500,000 KRW.

Additionally, prizes worth a total of 3 million KRW are prepared.

Along with the cooking contest, a "Guess the Winning Team" raffle event will be held. Residents who correctly guess the winning team will receive special benefits, and those who do not guess correctly will have a chance to participate in a lucky draw.

This cooking contest is also linked with the "Personal Cup Usage Day" event. The first 500 visitors who bring their own cups or contest water bottles will be provided with free beverages such as coffee and iced tea.

Furthermore, various programs including performances by local artists will be held to add enjoyment for the residents.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, "There are high expectations for the various events and the 10 dishes. Since the contest involves residents forming teams, shopping at the market, and preparing dishes, I hope it will further revitalize the local economy and become a place for community communication."
