However, the details of the evaluation will remain confidential, and related posts must be pre-approved through prior consultation.
Applicants can download the application form from the Suncheon City website, fill it out, and send it via email. Applicants who operate social media accounts or have relevant experience will be given preference.
A city official stated, "Through this program, which allows direct evaluation from the consumer’s perspective, we plan to discover competitive vegan restaurants in the region and further strengthen Suncheon's culinary content by linking it with our identity as a healing city. We hope for active participation from citizens interested in gastronomy and travel."
