Rising prices and falling incomes are giving rise to new holiday trends.
Major department stores including Hyundai, as well as Shinsegae and Lotte, have started pre-orders on gift sets for the Korean thanksgiving holiday Chuseok, which is only a month away.
Models introduce gift sets for the upcoming Chuseok harvest holidays at an Emart store in Seongsu-dong, eastern Seoul, on Tuesday.
Senior citizens exercise social distancing while waiting in line to receive gift sets containing ginseng chicken soup and fruit. The handouts were provided at a welfare center for seniors in Dalseo District, Daegu, on Thursday.
