[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] As the Lunar New Year holiday comes to an end, there is growing interest in various services that can help relieve holiday syndrome caused by physical and mental fatigue and stress during the festive period.


E-commerce companies have gathered entertainment options for the last day of the holiday. For example, Wemakeprice is running the 'Exciting Special Deals' event, which covers all Lunar New Year holiday entertainment, until the 27th. During this 'Exciting Special Deals', they are selling ▲E-coupons (movie tickets, dining gift certificates) ▲Leisure and admission tickets (ski resorts, theme parks, aquarium tickets) ▲Performances and exhibitions (musicals, shows, exhibition tickets) ▲Travel and accommodation (air tickets, local tours, accommodation vouchers) ▲Local services (massage, skincare, hair & makeup vouchers), among others. Lee Jae-yoon, Head of Special Deals Operations at Wemakeprice, said, "As the concept of the holiday shifts to rest, demand for leisure and travel-related products is increasing," adding, "Various entertainment options that can be used immediately during the holiday period are also available at special prices on Wemakeprice."


On the last day of the holiday, you can enjoy a small amount of fun even while ordering delivery food. Woowa Brothers, the operator of 'Baedal Minjok' (Baemin), is running the event 'Find the Delivery Person in Hanbok!' until the 27th. This event is structured so that users can earn discount coupons by achieving a target score within a time limit in a mini-game prepared within the Baedal Minjok application (app). Users who reach the target score can obtain a discount coupon of up to 5,000 KRW once per day. In the mini-game, users can meet a total of 27 different costumes worn by Baedal Minjok’s character 'Baedari.' The faster users find the specific 'Baedari' assigned as a mission within the time limit, the higher the score they get. On the last day of the Lunar New Year holiday, the 27th, franchise discount events will also be held.



To cater to those who want to check their fortune for the New Year, the financial information platform Finda has launched a fortune-telling service. Provided in collaboration with the fortune-telling startup Posteller, this service can be accessed by selecting 'Fortune' from the 'More' menu after logging into the Finda Android app. Users can view their fortune by entering their birth date, time, etc., or by completing identity verification. Users who complete identity verification can also receive differentiated financial services such as loan applications and management in addition to the fortune-telling service. While most fortune-telling services are paid, Finda offers 'Fortune of the Month' and 'Financial Luck of the Month' for free. Lee Hye-min, CEO of Finda, said, "We started Finda Fortune to show that even difficult financial products can be approached easily and enjoyably."
