This event is hosted by the Donghae Bukpyeong Merchants Association and is being organized as part of the Traditional Market and Shopping District Revitalization Support Project (Market Management Package) by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. It is designed to bring together local residents, merchants, and visitors to experience the traditional kimchi-making culture and to inject new energy into the traditional market.

In particular, Bukpyeong Folk Market operates as a five-day market, opening on the 3rd and 8th of every month. As the event falls on the 8th, which is a market day, the entire market is expected to be even more vibrant. Citizens and tourists visiting the market will be able to enjoy not only the kimchi-making experience but also a variety of market foods and local specialties.

On the day of the event, a kimchi-making experience will be offered to the first 250 participants on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants will have the opportunity to mix seasoning with salted cabbage themselves, learning about the traditional kimchi-making process. In addition, visitors who present receipts showing purchases of 10,000 won or more at Bukpyeong Folk Market will be eligible to enter a prize draw, further encouraging participation and excitement among market-goers.

A representative of the Donghae Bukpyeong Merchants Association stated, "The Bukpyeong Folk Market Kimchi-Making Festival is scheduled to coincide with a market day, making it a festive occasion that both citizens and tourists can enjoy together. We hope this event will help the traditional market become an even more vibrant space for communication and exchange."

This event is expected to contribute to revitalizing traditional markets, restoring the local economy, and spreading a culture of mutual prosperity in which citizens participate together.
