“I’m out shopping for the first time since the Lunar New Year holiday” in January, said 29-year old Kim, showing off the clutch she bought for just over 1 million won , as she hastily put on a face mask to talk to a reporter. “It’s so warm and so good to be out finally.” With early-summer weather helping retail therapy return with a vengeance, the term “bobok sobi” - revenge shopping - has trended on the nation’s social media, as people rush to make purchases delayed by social-distancing rules.
Seoul began easing curbs on April 19 and has still managed to bring down new daily infections from over 900 in late February to around 10 in the past week. The government will relax the rules further from Wednesday, Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun said on Sunday.
