On the 4th, citizens are shopping at the Nonghyup Hanaro Mart Yangjae branch in Seocho-gu, Seoul. According to the 'Consumer Price Trends' announced by Statistics Korea on the same day, the consumer price index in April rose by 2.3% compared to the same month in 2019. This is the largest increase since August 2017 (2.5%).
