<Anchor> There
was a report that there was a good landlord who came out for the tenants of the shopping mall who are having a hard time due to the corona virus. In addition to reducing the rent, they even organized a giveaway event to attract more customers to the mall.
Correspondent Choi Seon-gil reported.
<Reporter> As the
COVID-19 situation is prolonged, self-employed people are also deeply troubled.
At a time like this, I came to see a good landlord who planned a prize event for the self-employed.
A shopping mall in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province.
Customers who visit this mall store can participate in a sweepstakes event that can win up to $1,000 in prizes.
Through word of mouth, customers continue to visit the restaurant.
[Um Junyong/Restaurant customer: (nearby) I was going back and forth and it was written that it was a lucky draw. I came here with a good meaning, but once the food is so delicious, it's okay if it doesn't work, and it's even better.]
It's a great help to the gym, which had to shut down several times due to quarantine measures.
[Eugene/President of the gym: Because of that (event), I think there are people who exercise hard without even stopping because of it.]
[Woon-Yi Park/Member of the gym: Again, people come out again because of the event, so I find more vitality, Anyway, the amount is so big that I have a feeling that it will be something, I.]
The dollar giveaway was organized by the owner of the building, Mr. Ryu Jae-sik.
I wanted to give even a small amount of strength to the store owners, but it was a meticulous idea that took into account the desire for overseas travel.
[Ryujaesik / landlord: Come Take two US dollars when the corona dwaeseo end you go now travel abroad, I decided to dollars in this sense]
his is not leading this is the first time.
[Kim Kyung-sun/Restaurant President: It was very difficult, but in this neighborhood, the first thing to do is to reduce the rent.
I ask what all the buildings (the bosses) around me are and I'm envious, now.] He
says he wants to keep devising a plan for the tenants and the lessors to coexist until the corona is quiet.
[Ryu Jae-sik / Owner of the building: If we do it one more time, won't these business people still be of some help in this difficult time...
