Annual sales through online outlets topped those from the high street for the first time last year, according to Statistics Korea, Sunday. |
This is a good thing unless the chaebols find a way to have online stores close for 2 Sundays every month.

| For good reason too. Outside of Seoul, if it isn't grown or made locally or carried by Emart or Lottemart, it doesn't exist. Rural Korea is badly in need of some commercial diversity. And I don't mean more freaking coffee shops. |

The trend likely to continue is the one you mention at the end of the article. |

I'm afraid of that and since Koreans have to input their ID numbers when making orders from overseas companies, I guess it will get worse. |
