'Children's Flea Market' Held at Yongin Central Market on June 1st

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Gi-ho] A 'Children's Flea Market' will be held at Yongin Central Market in Kimryang-jang-dong, Cheouin-gu on June 1st.

The event is being organized after the Yongin Central Market Merchants Association (President Lee Soon-hwan) was selected for Gyeonggi Province's 'Big Sale to Revitalize Gyeonggi' project.

The merchants association organized this event to help children learn economic concepts by directly buying and selling secondhand goods through the traditional market flea market, and to allow them to experience the traditional market as a familiar play space.

On the day of the event, 20 families with children will participate as vendors, selling inexpensive secondhand items such as clothing and shoes. The merchants association has arranged for children participating as vendors to join a shopping event after the flea market ends, where they can experience the various attractions of the traditional market. To support children's shopping, the merchants association will provide Onnuri gift cards worth 30,000 won.

For children visiting the event venue, traditional folk games such as rice cake pounding and Tuho (a traditional tossing game) will be available.

On the day, anyone who purchases items worth 50,000 won or more at Yongin Central Market and submits the receipt to the merchants association will receive a 10,000 won Onnuri gift card refund.

President Lee Soon-hwan of the merchants association said, "We organized this event so that families can spend weekends together at the traditional market, create special memories, and leave good impressions," and added, "We will continue to make efforts for Yongin Central Market to develop into a more familiar and enjoyable place through various events."
