Muan County in South Jeolla Province is holding a traditional market shopping campaign with the participation of all public officials from February 6 to 14 to encourage the use of traditional markets ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday.

According to the county on the 10th, the event was organized to revitalize traditional market business districts that are struggling due to the economic downturn and to boost local consumption ahead of the holiday.

The county visited Illo Traditional Market on the 6th and Muan Traditional Market on the 9th, purchasing local agricultural and marine products and ritual goods, thereby joining efforts to promote the use of traditional markets.

At the same time, a traditional market fire prevention campaign and a price stabilization campaign were carried out in parallel with the participation of the market merchants' association and small business groups. During the campaigns, the county provided guidance on fire safety rules such as precautions when using heating equipment, and highlighted the importance of complying with country-of-origin and price labeling requirements and of establishing fair distribution and trading practices.

The county plans to use this shopping event as an opportunity to spread a culture of visiting traditional markets during the holiday period and to continue various consumption-promotion activities so that interest in local commercial districts can be sustained.

Kim San, Muan County Governor, said, "Public officials took the lead by holding this shopping event to expand the use of traditional markets ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday," adding, "We will continue to promote related activities so that interest in and use of local commercial districts can be sustained."
