new trend is gaining popularity in South Korea: digital kiosks for giving wedding gifts. These “wedding gift kiosks” allow guests to scan a QR code, transfer money via a mobile banking app, or tap a credit card — all without needing to carry envelopes or cash.
While the tradition of chug-ui-geum (축의금), or congratulatory wedding money, is still very much alive, younger generations, especially Gen Z, are opting for more minimal and convenient alternatives. That’s why these digital kiosks are becoming a modern solution.
Why people love the kiosks:
- Easy to use: just scan and pay instantly
- Safe and secure: no risk of lost envelopes
- Clear summary: couples get a transparent report after the event
These kiosks are now being adopted beyond weddings — for birthdays, anniversaries, and even funerals — marking a clear shift toward a truly cashless culture.
