As there is a budget of about 30 billion won, benefits are returned to up to 1 million people.
The movie coupon, which pays 6,000 won per movie ticket, has a budget of 10 billion won and can be used by about 1.6 million people, and the professional sports ticket that gives a 50% discount on the admission fee when watching volleyball and basketball is 500,000 won with a budget of 3 billion won. It is estimated that people will benefit.
