[THE INVESTOR] Hanwha Galleria said on July 20 that it will offer three part-time ad jobs at its new duty-free store with pay of US$20,000 for a week, as part of its marketing and brand-advertising efforts.

People aged 18 and above in South Korea, Japan and China can apply for the positions at Galleria Duty Free 63 by Aug 15 via the company’s website (goldenchance.galleria-dfs.com), company officials said.

If selected, the three people will earn US$20,000 each while shopping at the duty-free store or visiting major tourist destinations in Seoul from Oct 3-9. A video of their activities will be streamed in real time via social networking services.

Those who want to apply for the event need to post a one-minute self-introduction video on their social networking services and post the link for the video on the event’s website.

After screening the videos, a pool of applicants will be selected through a public online vote.

The three people will be chosen from that pool of applicants, company officials said.

“It is a global campaign that aims to make Yeouido a tourist destination through Galleria Duty Free 63,” an official at Hanwha Galleria said.
