Before the holiday I would like to remind a few things.

     

1. For those who are planning to stay in Sejong City, please note that the closed days for the following stores.

     

■ On-campus Facilities

- They will open during the weekend(21st, 22nd) for Lunch and Dinner with KRW 4,000.

- Rice cake and dumpling soup as a special menu to celebrate Seollal will be served on 17th, Tuesday with KRW 4,000.

     

→ GS convenience store : CLOSED 18~19th

     

■ Off-campus Stores

→ E-mart & Homeplus in Sejong city : OPEN during the hoildays

- open hours

11:00~21:00 only for 19th

11:00~23:00 on other days as usual

     

2. For those who are planning to visit Seoul or other cities during the hoilday period, You might want to consider adjusting your travel dates as bus and train tickets are hard to come by and highways are heavily congested. Traveling by a bus during the holiday can take over two to four times the normal travel time due to heavy traffic.

     

Please be aware of the above open schedule in advance to avoid any inconveniences.

     

Thank you
