Gmarket Donates 300 Million Won for Flood Recovery in Gyeongnam

Gmarket announced on August 20 that it will donate 300 million won to support flood recovery and aid for victims in the Gyeongnam region affected by recent heavy rainfall.

The donation will be delivered to the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association and will be used for facility restoration and the daily recovery of victims in areas such as Tongyeong and Geoje.

Gmarket will also work to expand sales channels for affected farmers. Starting August 31, the company will offer discounted sales of agricultural products, including blemished fruits and vegetables, during its Chuseok promotion, 'Big Sale for Chuseok.'

Additionally, Gmarket will hold a 'Small Business Coexistence Special Exhibition' targeting small businesses in the Gyeongnam region, providing marketing support by increasing product exposure on Gmarket and Auction.

A Gmarket representative stated, "We will not stop at just delivering donations; we will continue to provide practical support to help affected farmers and small sellers recover their daily lives as quickly as possible by leveraging the strengths of our distribution platform."

Meanwhile, Gmarket will host a collection of innovative agricultural products in collaboration with the Korea Small Business and Startups Agency and the Korea Agricultural Technology Promotion Agency at its 'Coexistence Market' until December 31.
