Yeongcheon Market, a market used by visitors to Seodaemun Prison, is undergoing a transformation as it fills with children - South Korea

Yeongcheon Market is located in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, which was formed during the Joseon Dynasty.It was built during the Japanese colonial period when Seodaemun Prison was built, and people who visited and cared for prisoners came here.
It has become a popular market. Reisen Market is now a place where many children visit. By forming sister ties with nearby schools and daycare facilities, children have started to stop by.
. In order to make the market more visited by families, the children's experience events held last year, ``Kids Market Day, Let's Play at Reisen Market,'' and ``May Family Festival Children's Experience'' were successful.
It's shaped like that. During the experience event, the market will hold programs such as ``Mug Making'' as part of ESG (Environment, Society, Corporate Governance) and economic education ``Shopping with Onnuri Gift Certificates.''
. A total of 240 children from third to sixth grade of elementary school participated in the 10th event and became familiar with the market. Afterwards, the children who visited Reisen Market returned to the market with their parents on the weekend.
The number of cases has started to increase. As a result, the market's sales increased by more than 20% and the number of visitors increased by more than 15%. Yeongcheon Market is attached to Midong Elementary School and Geumhwa Elementary School, which are currently affiliated with sister schools.
In addition to the affiliated kindergartens, we plan to partner with additional schools and childcare facilities in Seoul to develop traditional market revitalization programs.
