Last week’s shopping week’s trend keyword ‘Best 20’ accounted for half of Chuseok related products.
There were many products related to Chuseok gifts such as LA Galbi, Jeonggwanjang, Chuseok gift sets, spam gift sets, and red ginseng, as well as table tops such as songpyeon, hanbok for boys and hanbok for girls, and Chuseok beams for children.
LA Galbi, which ranked third, is one of the representative foods eaten on Chuseok or New Year’s Day. It is also popular as a gift. Most of them are from the United States and Australia, and although they are grilled raw, they are often marinated in seasoning and grilled. It is characterized by cutting so that the cross section of the bone can be seen between the pieces of meat.
LA ribs are largely divided into short ribs with 3 rib bones and chuck ribs with 4 ribs. Chuck ribs are inexpensive and have good cost-effectiveness, but the ratio of lean meat to fat is not constant and the texture can be a bit tough. On the other hand, short ribs are superior to chuck ribs in terms of marbling and thickness of the meat.
It is better to have small bones compared to the flesh, and to have good marbling because the ratio of lean meat to fat is evenly distributed is soft and soft. In Korea, it mainly sells Prime and Choice, which are the highest grade among 8 grades of American beef. In the case of Australia, GF grade beef raised on grain feed is known to have the best marbling and taste.
LA galbi sold on the market is available for grilling, steamed ribs, and beef and bossam, and there is much more raw meat than seasoning products.
Cheongkwanjang red ginseng products are one of the health functional foods that are frequently sought for not only on holidays but also on a daily basis. In particular, as people are more interested in health following Corona 19, there is a tendency to prefer red ginseng products that help immunity and recovery from fatigue. It is also a popular item for holiday gifts. Seasonal foods such as crab and red apple also stood out as they entered the rankings.
Shin Ramyun, which announced a price increase on the 24th, took second place.
Nongshim announced that it would raise the price of Shin Ramyun by 10.9% from the 15th of next month. Following August of last year, the price was raised once more for the first time in a year, and the era of 1,000 won per bag of ramen has reached.
Upon hearing the news that the price of Shin Ramyun was going up, there were many cases of searching for boxed products rather than individual items in the shopping category. It is interpreted that the psychology to buy a lot before the price increase worked. This is a point of concern for hoarding.
‘Trend Keyword’ took 1st place, Banti. In the rankings by age group, Banti took the first place in both male and female teens as well as all age groups.
Banti is the group uniform that students wear for various events such as MT and sports competitions during vacations or new semesters. It means half a t-shirt. In entertainment programs, the military uniform that celebrities often wear, the retro style training uniform, the unique police uniform, and the unique style of the prison uniform are popular.
The most eye-catching product among the ‘Best 20’ keywords for the weekly shopping trend is Cube, which ranked 13th.
Cube is a game in which several small cubes come together to form a large cube, and you have to rotate the large cube to match various colors and shapes. The cube puzzle is an invention that enhances spatial perception.
It seems that Cube’s rise to the ‘trend keyword’ ranking was influenced by talent Hyunjin Choi. This is because Choi Hyun-jin, who appeared as Woo Young-woo’s younger brother and hacker in ‘Mysterious Lawyer Woo Young-woo’, which ended last week amidst a lot of topics, was shown fiddling with the cube with his cynical expression.
In the top 20 ‘Most Purchased Products’ for a week, 7 health functional foods were the most. Next was IT products with 6 items, food items with 5 items, baby products with 1 item, and household items with 1 item.
