추석 앞둠

My friend, a Vietnamese, has landed a job, as an event marketing executive, with the Lotte Department Store (Myeongdong). This is her first job after completing her Masters in Hotel Tourism Management at Kyunghee University last fall.

She was recently seen promoting her company's limited-edition shopping vouchers for the coming Chuseok in Yonhap News.

With the biggest Korean festival, Chuseok just around the corner, Lotte Department Store, a dominant player in the market of shopping vouchers, introduced its "Beat-the-Recession-Small-Value Shopping Voucher Package" (KRW 3 million) on the 3rd of September.

Lotte Department Store is also running an event to give away 1,000 limited edition shopping vouchers, which has three 10,000-won vouchers printed on one sheet, on a first-come-first serve basis, to customers who purchase the package.

    2. hello oh i see! thanks! i am thinking of doing a 3 month internship there next year but i suppose it will be quite hard because i can't speak Korean.

    3. Can't speak Korean? No worry. Many Koreans know a bit of English. There are many foreign English teachers in Korea who know zero Korean but yet, they are still enjoying themselves. What I want to say is, you don't have to know Korean to live comfortably in Korea.
