Posted 2023-02-17 18:26:00

In Korea, events such as entrance, start of school, and joining the company are held from February to March.

In February and March, more and more customers want to buy a variety of "new semester supplies" from clothing and bags to laptops ahead of admission. The Korean e-commerce industry aims to attract customers by introducing various contents online and offline. According to Tmon's survey of sales trends of major new semester products over the past two weeks (February 1st to 14th), it rose 237% year-on-year. During the same period, the number of customers who purchased more than tripled, proving high demand.
