Holiday syndrome refers to symptoms such as mental or physical fatigue caused by stress experienced during the holidays. This year, Chuseok falls on October 2nd, which has been designated as a temporary holiday, resulting in a six-day holiday including National Foundation Day. While some people are taking this opportunity to refresh themselves through domestic and international travel, it is also expected that many will experience more severe holiday syndrome.

On the 8th, Lotte Department Store began the main sale of Chuseok gift sets and introduced convenient table setting sets that make it easy to prepare the traditional holiday ancestral rites table. In collaboration with Jipbanchan Research Institute, the sets are based on high-quality ingredients and aim to reduce the time customers spend preparing holiday ritual foods and meals, hoping to make the holiday happier.

Orders can be placed at all Lotte Department Store locations nationwide and on the Lotte Department Store online mall. The representative 'Standard Holiday Ancestral Table' includes traditional ritual foods commonly used nationwide such as beef radish soup, meat skewers, domestic croaker, Donggeurangttaeng (Korean meat patties), pollack pancakes, various seasoned vegetables like bellflower root, spinach, and bracken, as well as chestnuts, jujubes, dried persimmons, and yakgwa (traditional Korean honey cookies).

Convenient ancestral table gift sets reflecting regional characteristics are also offered. The 'Gyeongsang-do Ancestral Table' from Lotte Department Store includes domestic (Namhae) rock octopus in addition to the basic ritual foods. The 'Jeolla-do Ancestral Table' features boiled cockles, and the 'Gangwon-do Ancestral Table' includes sweet potato pancakes. For those preparing practical ancestral tables, there is the 'Holiday Practical Ancestral Table,' and for families and relatives to enjoy together during the holiday, a 'Chuseok Food Set' composed of beef bulgogi, japchae, and Donggeurangttaeng is also available.

In collaboration with Round Kitchen 7, Lotte Department Store has strengthened its lineup of online mall-exclusive holiday full-course table setting sets. The 'Holiday Table Setting Set 1' includes six types of jeon (Korean pancakes) such as pollack pancakes, meatball pancakes, and skewer meat patties; five types of seasoned vegetables including bracken and bellflower root; beef short rib stew; nabak kimchi; six types of homemade side dishes; and Korean beef radish soup. Alongside the practical 'Holiday Table Setting Set 2,' customers can also order main dishes separately, such as beef short rib stew, assorted jeon (6 types), and five-color japchae.

Additionally, based on the Traditional Culture Research Institute Onjieum, the food and living brand Onharu will offer a 'Table Setting Gift' limited to 30 sets for pre-order. Reservations are available until the 15th at all Lotte Department Store locations, with delivery limited to the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas on September 27th.

Meanwhile, Lotte Department Store has also released 'Small but Certain Happiness (So-hwak-haeng)' gift sets for those spending time for themselves during the long holiday. These include the 'Korean Beef So-hwak-haeng Royal Gift' and the 'Korean Beef So-hwak-haeng Selected Gift.'
