[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City held a sharing and promotional event for Gwangju Jumeokbap under the theme "Express Your Heart with Gwangju Jumeokbap" on the 13th at U-Square Plaza to commemorate the 41st anniversary of the May 18 Democratic Uprising.

Gwangju City, together with Gwangju Jumeokbap vendors, Gwangju Design Promotion Agency, and the Korea Foodservice Industry Association Gwangju Branch, delivered Gwangju Jumeokbap to about 2,000 citizens while promoting recently launched products and Gwangju Jumeokbap vendors.

The event served as an opportunity to reflect on the meaning of "sharing" through Gwangju Jumeokbap, providing citizens with Gwangju Jumeokbap and heartfelt messages to give to family, friends, and colleagues who have been exhausted by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Gwangju Jumeokbap is a symbolic food of May that citizens shared with hope and love by holding hands during difficult times. Since being selected as a representative food of Gwangju, anyone can enjoy various flavors and shapes of Gwangju Jumeokbap anywhere.

Recently, eight types of Gwangju Jumeokbap were launched as online sales products, and on the 18th at 2 p.m., a discount event will be held through a Naver Shopping Live broadcast to sell Gwangju Jumeokbap nationwide.

Mayor Lee Yong-seop said, "I am grateful for the cooperation of citizens who are maturely coping despite the prolonged difficulties caused by COVID-19," adding, "We will foster Gwangju Jumeokbap, a symbolic food of the Gwangju spirit, as a representative local delicacy and spread the spirit of participation, sharing, and solidarity of the Gwangju community through national expansion."
