The Onnuri gift certificates and prizes will be given only to customers who use stores registered with the Shin Jungang Market Merchants Association during the event period, and the event may end early once the prepared quantities are exhausted.

No festival is complete without performances. At the Moonlight Stage in front of the Eoul Shelter inside Jungang Market, a variety of musical performances will be held. Winners of the immortal song contest Hun Jae-i, Voice Queen Lee Su-jin, and Mistrot Han Dam-hee will perform, enhancing the night market atmosphere.

Shin Jungang Market has recently become a ‘hot place’ among the younger generation, gaining popularity on social media (SNS) following visits by famous celebrities.

Following the events at Hwanghak-dong Kitchen Furniture Street and Baekhak Market Festival held in September, the Yaksu Market Lunchbox Festival is scheduled for October 15.” He added, “We hope everyone will fully enjoy the charm of traditional markets through this opportunity.”
