Furthermore, at the ongoing “Busan Craft Beer Masters Challenge (September 20–24),” Dongbaek Sanghoe is being promoted through a dedicated booth at the festival venue.
Kim Bong-cheol, Assistant Mayor of Digital Economy Office, stated:
“The newly launched gift sets combine excellent products from local businesses with the unique sentiment of Busan, making them special holiday gifts for both citizens and visitors. We will continue to actively support competitive local companies so they can use Dongbaek Sanghoe as a foundation to expand into domestic and global markets.”
