Will businesses shut down this weekend like they do during Chusok?
Specifically, will business like corner stores (Family Mart, GS mart, etc.) be open on the 24th and 25th?
Even more specifically, will Lotte Mart at Seoul Station be open on the 24th? |

| everything will be open on the 24th as well as the 25th. Christmas is not a big deal in Korea. Chusok and Solnal are the biggies where things shut down. |
