Digital gifting was convenient — until it started to feel like new social obligation
'Too easy to ignore': Korean Gen Z on the perks and pressures of online gifting culture Twenty-three-year-old Kim begins her day the way many young Koreans do — by checking her phone. As she scrolls through unread messages on the messenger app KakaoTalk, a small gift icon appears next to an old classmate's profile. It's his birthday. Kim hesitates. They haven't spoken in over a year, but she remembers he sent her a delivery food coupon last fall. After a moment of deliberation, she returns the gesture with a Starbucks "gifticon" of equal value. That tiny icon, built into Korea's most-used messaging app, is part of KakaoTalk Gifts, a feature that lets users send anything from coffee coupons to luxury goods. Among the most popular offerings are gifticons — digital vouchers redeemable for specific items like beverages or desserts. This isn't a fringe phenomenon. According to Kakao, the company's prepaid commerce balance, or money preloaded for gift-related purchases, reached 96.6 billion won ($74 million) in the fourth quarter of 2024, a 3.5-fold increase from a year before. Nationwide, e-coupon services, including gifticons, formed a market worth 8.6 trillion won in the same year. With the rise of these services, digital gift-giving has evolved into a kind of social currency, especially for Generation Z, or those born from 1997 to 2012. In a survey of 100 Koreans in their 20s active on social media, conducted by The Korea Herald this year, over 90 percent reported using online gifting platforms. Nearly 97 percent cited convenience as the top reason. Twenty percent said they spend between 30,000 to 50,000 won each month on digital gifts, while another 20 percent spend up to 70,000 won — roughly equivalent to a full day's work on minimum wage. 'It's really just a digital extension of what we already do,' said Kim, 26, who recently graduated from university. 'My family gives and receives envelopes for Seollal, for Chuseok, for weddings, for first birthdays. We've always had a give-and-take culture.' What's changed, she said, is how automated and accessible it's become. 'Kakao will send you reminders. 'Don't forget to celebrate!' Then it shows you a perfectly curated list of gifts. Rice cakes, cake sets, bubble tea … all just a click away.' Trapped by politeness But many also admit that the act no longer feels optional. 'The gift option makes it weird to just congratulate someone's birthday with words,' said Jeon, 25, a bartender in Seoul. 'There's this silent expectation. If you don't send something, it feels like you're being cold — even if you're just not that close anymore.' Jeon shared that she's sometimes felt 'held hostage by politeness,' especially when the recipient is someone she no longer has a meaningful connection with. 'I once got a Baskin-Robbins coupon from a girl I hadn't seen since high school. I appreciated it, but then I felt guilty. Her birthday came two months later, and I ended up sending her something back, even though we hadn't talked in years.' Twenty-nine-year-old Kim, a graduate student juggling classes and part-time work, said the absence of a 'no thanks' button makes it worse. 'You either ghost the message, which feels rude, or accept that you owe them.' Kim added that the emotional toll doesn't end with the gift itself. 'If someone gives me a coupon, I feel like I have to reply, thank them, keep the conversation going ... even if we're not actually close. It's not friendship — it's etiquette.' Park, 25, a user experience design student, described it as a cycle of guilt. 'You want to stop, but then you remember they sent you something last year. I've definitely sent coffee coupons out of guilt.' Some even confessed to 'strategic gifting' — sending small tokens to maintain surface-level connections or avoid awkward silences. 'It's emotional labor,' Park said. 'But instead of doing it in person, we're doing it through vouchers.' Park, 28, recently returned to college after military service and a gap year. As an unpaid intern preparing for graduate school, he finds the economics of gift-giving difficult to justify. 'Most of the gifts my friends wish for are things like convenience store sets, desserts or drink coupons,' he said. 'One item doesn't cost much, but when you have 20 friends ... it adds up.' Park sometimes scrolls through friends' Kakao profiles to check their wish lists, trying to find gifts that look meaningful but cost less. 'It's like tactical generosity,' he said, laughing. 'I want to seem thoughtful, but I'm broke.' He added that digital gifts also create a strange kind of visibility. 'Everyone sees that you didn't send something. You start comparing. Did this friend get more? Did I forget someone?' New rules for digital giving? As gifting continues to digitize, some Gen Z Koreans are beginning to question the expectations surrounding it. A few are starting to set personal rules: no reciprocal gifts, limits on birthday spending or silent 'likes' instead of presents. 'I've started replying with a message instead of a gift,' said Jeon. 'Sometimes I say, 'Let's grab coffee in person next time.' If they're real friends, they'll understand.' Others are trying to step back from gifting altogether. 'I told my close friends: no gifts this year. Let's just meet,' said Kim. 'Honestly, that made us closer.'

Young job seekers prefer private sector: survey
Generation Z job seekers in South Korea said in a recent survey that they prefer jobs in the private sector to the public center, although a quarter of the respondents they would choose to be civil servants if the pay was higher. Local job-search platform Catch asked 2,074 job seekers in their 20s or younger about what type of employment they preferred, with 69 percent of the respondents saying that they have no intention to take the state civil service exam. When asked why they do not wish to become government workers, 42 percent cited low wages, and 20 percent said it did not match their personality. Even if the wages of a both public and private sectors are the same, 53 percent said they would work for the non-government company. Some 26 percent said they would consider civil servant work if the monthly wage for a Grade 9 civil servant was at least 3 million won ($2,158), while 25 percent it has to be at least 5 million won. The current monthly wage for the starting-level government official is 2.69 million won, while the nationwide average for yearly income was 43.32 million won as of the fourth quarter of 2024 — which is 3.6 million won per month. The same survey conducted last year found that 78 percent of Gen Z — those born after 1997 — do not prefer civil service jobs, with the respondents also citing low wages as the main reason. Working as a government official had once been seen as a dream job here, particularly in the wake of the economic crisis of the late 1990s, but the preference for the job has been on a downward trend in recent years. The acceptance rate at the Grade 9 level was one job offer per 24.3 applicants this year, up from the previous two years but down from 37.2 to 1 in 2020. Last year's report from Statistics Korea showed that of the 565,000 people aged 15-29 looking for jobs, 23.2 percent were looking to become civil servants while 29.7 percent were seeking to work in the private sector. Both the government workers and the general public believe low wages to be the main cause the job is losing its appeal, according to a November survey by the Ministry of Personnel Management on 27,000 civil servants and 3,000 members of the general public. some 88.3 percent of the government officials and 62.9 percent of the public said the relatively low pay is why decreasing number of people are choosing to work at state agencies.
