Pop-up Store to Fill Empty Shops
to Be Operated in Collaboration with Sejong City
from June 15 to 19

The Korea Commission for Corporate Partnership (KCCP) announced on June 9 that, in collaboration with Sejong Special Self-Governing City, it will operate a "Pop-up Store to Fill Empty Shops" utilizing vacant commercial spaces in Narijae Village Complex 2, Naseong-dong.

This event will be held for five days from June 15 to June 19, in conjunction with the 2025 Bammasil Festival, a local festival in Sejong City. The event involves renting vacant commercial spaces near the festival venue to run short-term stores for social economy enterprises. It is designed to promote outstanding small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) active in the region, thereby strengthening local capabilities and ultimately revitalizing the local economy.

The KCCP, while promoting the private sector initiative of "Spreading the Culture of Mutual Growth to Local Communities," has designated mutual growth coordinators in the governors' offices of all 17 metropolitan and provincial governments nationwide. The commission is also implementing the "Local Community Mutual Growth Support Project," which carries out practical cooperation initiatives between large corporations and local SMEs and small business owners.

A KCCP official stated, "As this event was planned based on the proposal of the local government’s mutual growth coordinator, we expect that it will foster a culture of mutual growth that local residents in the Sejong community can tangibly experience."
