[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] The first holiday since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is just around the corner. According to a survey conducted by Realmeter on behalf of TBS, targeting 500 people aged 18 and over nationwide, 71.3% of respondents agreed with movement restrictions because the risk of further spread is high under social distancing level 2. This means that 7 out of 10 citizens support movement restrictions during the Chuseok holiday.

Accordingly, it is expected that the so-called 'Homechu (Home+Chuseok)' group, who will stay at home without visiting their hometowns and cook and eat meals themselves, will increase this Chuseok holiday. As Chuseok approaches, interest in smart kitchen items that reduce the hassle of home-cooked meals and make meal preparation easier is growing among the Homechu group.
