This consumption support fund initiative has been organized to widely promote the Gwangju Royal Ceramics Festival and to stimulate local consumption in order to support small business owners in the region. From April 25, users who make cumulative purchases of at least 100,000 won with the Gwangju Love Card will receive 10% cashback on their spending, with a maximum benefit of 20,000 won per person. However, the event may end early if the allocated budget is exhausted.

The cashback provided will be automatically used first for the next purchase and must be spent at Gwangju Love Card affiliated merchants within three months from the date of issuance. Cashback that is not used within the validity period will expire.

The funds required for this project have been secured by utilizing a social contribution fund of 110 million won, created by Kona I Co., Ltd. to support local small business owners, in accordance with the 'Gyeonggi Local Currency Joint Operation Agency Agreement' signed between Gyeonggi Province and Kona I Co., Ltd.

Mayor Bang Sehwan stated, "The 28th Gwangju Royal Ceramics Festival has been prepared with a variety of programs, including royal ceramics experiences and ceramics exhibitions, that citizens can directly enjoy and participate in," adding, "I hope many citizens will take part in the festival and actively support small business establishments by using the Gwangju Love Card, which offers consumption support fund benefits."
