The Gwangju Small Business Expo, held in partnership with Naver (a well-known South Korean online platform), transformed the Baegun Plaza into a vibrant night market. Despite economic slowdowns and harsh weather conditions, the two-day event was crowded with families, students, and office workers enjoying diverse food stalls offering unique dishes like 'Mudeungsan Tiger Bulgogi Pizza' and 'Dongcheon Hanwoo Smoked BBQ'. This festival not only aimed to boost sales for local businesses but also showcased the process of turning local products into marketable goods. An online channel also highlighted Gwangju's attractions, gaining significant virtual engagement. With live performances and celebratory atmospheres, the expo was a lively celebration of community and local economy, as attendees and small business owners briefly set aside their worries.
