"Enjoy the Kimchi Festival Without Cars"... Gwangju City Launches 'Daejabo Challenge'
Verification for Visits by Public Transportation, Bicycle, or Walking
Commemorative Gifts for the First 300 Participants Each Day
On October 28, Gwangju City announced that it will hold the 'Daejabo Challenge' for three days during the Gwangju Kimchi Festival, from October 31 to November 2.
The 'Daejabo Challenge' aims to encourage festivalgoers to visit the venue using public transportation, bicycles, or by walking instead of private cars. Citizens who achieve and verify this goal will receive a small commemorative gift (one of the following: a set of socks, a shopping bag, or a mini towel) on-site.
Citizens using public transportation can verify their participation in the challenge by presenting a photo taken on the bus or subway on the day of the event, showing their face. Those who walk to the venue can show their walking app record from their mobile phone for the day (at least 8,000 steps), while cyclists can present the bicycle they used to arrive.
The 'Daejabo Campaign Booth', operated in front of the City Hall administrative building during the festival, will provide commemorative gifts to the first 300 people each day (a total of 900 people over three days) who visit the booth and verify their successful participation in the challenge.
Yoon Mira, Director of the Gwangju Strategic Promotion Team, stated, "We organized this challenge to reduce traffic congestion and parking shortages during the festival and to create a pleasant festival atmosphere. We plan to continue promoting various types of Daejabo Challenges so that many citizens can experience the benefits of the Daejabo policy."
