Hamyang County Holds Events to Celebrate Surpassing 10,000 Participants in "OreuGO Hamyang"

Various Benefits Including Hamyang Love Gift Certificates and Payback
Participation Expected to Grow Through Diverse Events

South Gyeongsang Province's Hamyang County will hold a variety of events through social networking services (SNS) and the "OreuGO Hamyang" app until June 8 to celebrate surpassing 10,000 participants in the "OreuGO Hamyang" challenge, which certifies the completion of 15 famous mountain climbs.

Since its official launch on January 1 this year, "OreuGO Hamyang" has attracted significant attention, with more than 10,500 people joining the app in just five months and over 22,000 certifications for the climbs of individual mountains.

Notably, despite a temporary suspension of the program in April for wildfire prevention, the popularity remains strong, with more than 700 people completing all 15 climbs since operations resumed on May 1.

Reflecting this popularity, Hamyang County has prepared two major events to further boost participation in "OreuGO Hamyang."

The first is an SNS event: participants can enter by liking and commenting on the "OreuGO Hamyang" event post on the official Hamyang Tourism Instagram account. On June 11, 20 winners will be selected by lottery to receive a 10,000 won mobile Hamyang Love Gift Certificate.

The second is a payback event for those who complete all 15 climbs. During the event period, participants who submit a receipt for a purchase of 10,000 won or more at an accommodation, restaurant, or cafe in Hamyang County after certifying completion will be entered into a lottery. Twenty winners will receive a 10,000 won mobile Hamyang Love Gift Certificate as a payback. To enter, participants must send a photo of their receipt by text message to the dedicated "OreuGO Hamyang" mobile number.

A Hamyang County official stated, "Through these events, we hope to promote 'OreuGO Hamyang' more widely and provide more people with the opportunity to participate," adding, "Anyone who climbs all 15 mountains can receive a Hamyang Love Gift Certificate, a silver medal, and other commemorative gifts, so we hope to see many mountaineers from across the country take part."

Meanwhile, "OreuGO Hamyang" has been well received as a tourism content initiative that stimulates local consumption by allowing participants to exchange points accumulated for completing climbs of mountains over 1,000 meters in Hamyang County for Hamyang Love Gift Certificates. By verifying their visits at the start and end points of the hiking trails, participants are naturally encouraged to visit Hamyang, thereby increasing the resident population and revitalizing the local economy.
