Other holidays within the Golden Week include the Day of Prince Naruhito's Accession to the Chrysanthemum Throne, the Constitution Memorial Day and the Greenery Day.


In a press release, LDF said that from 18 April to 12 May all foreign customers at downtown stores in Seoul (Myeong-dong main store, World Tower and COEX Stores) will receive a KRW60,000 (US$52) gift card when they purchase over US$600 worth of products, KRW120,000 (US$105) for purchases over US$1,200, KRW180,000 (US$157) for purchases over US$1,400 or KRW250,000 (US$219) for purchases over US$3,000.

LDF will also give away a limited-edition picnic eco-bag made from a collaboration with famous Argentine illustrator Ana Duje. Customers who spend more than US$400 at downtown Seoul stores will be able to receive the bag on a first-come, first-served basis.

From 27 April to 6 May, Japanese customers who spend more than US$1 at downtown Seoul and Busan branches will receive a gift card worth KRW10,000 (US$8). The gift cards will be available until 31 May.
