[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Emart is offering discount events on various home appliances and cosmetics during the Chuseok holiday period.

Emart has prepared various events anticipating an increase in people spending the holiday at home, as keywords like ‘Gwipojok’ (people who give up returning to their hometown) and ‘Homchujok’ (people spending Chuseok at home) have become popular ahead of the holiday.

Tap Ball, which has become a popular exercise equipment among homebodies, is also sold at a low price.
