This event, held at Pyeongnae 1ho Park, was designed to allow local farmers to sell their produce directly and to provide residents with access to fresh and safe food.

The market featured not only the direct market itself but also a flea market and musical performances, creating a venue where local residents could naturally gather and communicate with one another.

Approximately 300 residents participated in the event. Small-scale local farmers who cultivate produce in the area took part, directly selling a variety of seasonal agricultural products such as potatoes, young radish, and leafy vegetables. Residents were able to purchase farm-fresh produce at affordable prices right in the city.

Kim Younggil, chairperson of the Pyeongnae-dong Residents' Autonomy Committee, said, "The Pyeongnae-dong Eouldeoul Direct Market served as a venue for local farmers and residents to interact with each other," adding, "We will continue to create opportunities for communication that grow together with the residents."

Joo Gwangdeok, mayor of Namyangju City, who attended the event, stated, "I hope that this direct market organized by the Pyeongnae-dong Residents' Autonomy Committee will become a meaningful occasion where citizens can come together and enjoy a sense of unity," and added, "We will continue to support resident-led autonomy centered on citizens and leverage the unique characteristics and strengths of Pyeongnae-dong to make Namyangju an even better place to live."

Meanwhile, this event was selected as part of the 'Agriculture, Fisheries, and Rural Integrated Promotion Support Project' supported by the Gyeonggi-do Agricultural and Fisheries Promotion Agency, and, starting with this direct market, additional related direct trade events are planned for October.
