  "account": "South Korea's data ministry announced plans to provide daily updates on the prices of essential food items and fuel, aiming to enable the government to monitor price fluctuations in real-time and act promptly. The Ministry of Data and Statistics will release the information from September 10 to September 23, covering 36 items, such as apples, pears, eggs, flour, and gasoline. This initiative coincides with the upcoming Chuseok holiday, also known as the Korean Thanksgiving, which runs from September 24 to 27. During this period, families visit ancestral homes, gather together, pay respects to their forebears, and prepare and consume traditional dishes.\n\nTo gather the necessary data, the ministry will conduct price surveys both offline and online, subsequently sharing the results with pertinent government agencies to enhance the efficacy of inflation control policies. The detailed information collected from the daily price research will serve as crucial baseline data for establishing suitable consumer price policies concerning Chuseok-related products. Data Minister Ahn Hyung-jun announced the decision.",
