Sales of gizzard shad and persimmons also surged 310 percent and 869 percent, respectively, the data showed.
Chuseok is South Korea's autumn harvest celebration, equivalent to Thanksgiving in the United States.
Along with Seol, or Lunar New Year's Day, it is one of the country's important traditional holidays during which time many South Koreans head back to their hometowns to pay respects to ancestors and to spend time with family and friends. Chuseok falls on Oct. 4 this year. (Yonhap)
