The ‘Korea Shopping Discount Season’ is primarily aimed at foreign tourists, with the goal of establishing Korea as another shopping tourism paradise in Asia and attracting more visitors. This discount campaign is not limited to Seoul but also includes regions such as Busan, Jeju, Daegu, Gangwon-do, South Jeolla-do, North Gyeongsang-do, and more. It also features the ‘Big 20’ businesses located in other cities, including department stores, large shopping malls, duty-free shops, shopping centers, hotels, theme parks, restaurants, convenience stores, cosmetics shops, casinos, cinemas, banks, and souvenir shops. Well-known Korean brands include major department stores like Galleria, Shinsegae, Hyundai, and Lotte, as well as shopping centers such as Yongsan Times Square, Yeojoo OUTLET Outlet Mall, E-Mart, and Lotte Mart. The organizers have also prepared a variety of entertaining and interactive street events, aiming to deliver an unforgettable celebration for foreign visitors.
