Before the opening event, he held a meeting with officials from Jeju Air, Lotte Department Store, Able CN, Ottogi, Shinsegae Department Store and GS Retail to hear their opinions on the preparation process for the K-tourism content experience event favored by foreigners and the response of foreign tourists. After the opening event, he visited Olive Young Myeongdong Town and Tonimori Myeongdong Cathedral, which were reopened in November last year and are visited by an average of 3,000 people (90% of foreign tourists) per day, to check the shopping status of foreign tourists and immediately refund the VAT, and to welcome foreign tourists.
