On the first day, February 9, at Boknae 5-Day Market, Boseong County Governor Kim Cheolwoo, members of the Boseong County Council, officials from local institutions and organizations, and public officials took part, purchasing ritual foods and local specialty products and offering encouragement to merchants.

In particular, the schedule for that day focused on listening to the on-site difficulties of merchants who are struggling due to weakened consumption and strengthening communication with them.

The county will continue additional shopping events on February 12 at Nokchagol Boseong Local Market, on February 13 at Joseong 5-Day Market, and on February 14 at Beolgyo Traditional Market. During the remaining schedule as well, it plans to further spread the atmosphere of using traditional markets, strengthen ties with merchants, and thereby promote the revitalization of the local economy.

In addition, to stabilize prices during the Lunar New Year holiday, Boseong-gun will operate a Comprehensive Price Countermeasures Situation Room, and will conduct crackdowns on violations of commercial order by deploying inspection teams to check for unfair trade practices and monitor price trends.

An official from the county said, "We expect the consumption-boosting effect to be even greater as the Lunar New Year holiday coincides with the payment of the Boseong Love Subsidy," adding, "We hope many people will visit traditional markets not only during the holidays but also on ordinary days, and join in good consumption that revives the local economy by purchasing a variety of foods and goods."

Meanwhile, since February 2, Boseong-gun has been accepting applications for and paying out the "Livelihood 600 Boseong Love Subsidy" of 300,000 won per resident. The county expects that this subsidy will help restore everyday life by revitalizing local commercial districts and easing residents' living cost burdens.
