On the 18th, employees at Hyundai Department Store Apgujeong Main Branch in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, are introducing unique fruit gift sets.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] This year, exotic fruits boasting high sugar content and unique flavors are rapidly emerging as popular Lunar New Year gift sets.

According to Hyundai Department Store on the 18th, sales of exotic fruit gift sets such as Shine Muscat, Apple Mango, and Hallabong from the 24th of last month to the 17th of this month increased by 94.5% compared to the same period last year. This figure significantly surpasses the overall fruit gift set growth rate of 65%.

Hyundai Department Store introduced a total of 47 types of exotic fruit sets as Lunar New Year gifts. In particular, the number of gift sets featuring Shine Muscat, which has established itself as a premium dessert fruit, increased by about 50% compared to last year, selling a total of around 20 varieties. Additionally, they prepared Apple Mango sets selecting only extra-large fruits weighing over 700g each from the 'Kent' variety.

A Hyundai Department Store official said, "Following last year, the number of people celebrating the holiday safely at home, known as 'Home Seol' families, has greatly increased this year as well. Customers seeking relatively high-priced exotic fruit gift sets to express gratitude to family members and others are rapidly rising," adding, "We plan to continue offering various gift products that meet customer demand."
