After the walk, all participants will be given beverages from Nongshim during a closing show and Moguchon ham and chicken will be provided for a free tasting by the processed food manufacturer.
This month's raffle prize includes a high quality meat product gift set from Moguchon as well as Chagall exhibition tickets, bicycles, health beverage Damina 909 (Glamy), cosmetics, meal coupons (The Buffet), movie tickets (Interpark), toilet paper, kitchen goods and more.
