Closed for 2 Sundays a month: A customer looks at a sign that reads “We are closed today” in front of an E-Mart outlet in Gangdong-gu, Seoul, Sunday. Retail outlets and supermarkets operated by conglomerate-affiliated retail chains will close down every second and fourth Sunday under a revised law that aims to protect local mom-and-pop stores.
