Problem

Early retirees aged 55-63 want to continue cultural activities like movies, performances, and travel, but as their monthly income drops from 3 million KRW (approx. $2,250) to 1.5 million KRW (approx. $1,125) (pension + interest), they lose a sense of how much they can spend on cultural life. Senior discounts (CGV senior rates, KTX discounts, free museum admission, etc.) exist everywhere, but each has different age criteria, days, and time slots, resulting in missed benefits worth 200,000-300,000 KRW (approx. $150-$225) per year.

Solution

When users input their monthly available cultural spending, the service suggests an annual budget allocation across categories like movies, performances, travel, and hobbies, and automatically displays senior discounts and free programs on a monthly calendar. It provides guidance like 'Remaining cultural budget this month: 42,000 KRW (approx. $31.50). Recommendation: Tuesday CGV senior rate 7,000 KRW (approx. $5.25) + free special exhibition at the National Museum.'

Target: Aged 55-63, early retirees or 1-2 years into retirement, who don't want to give up cultural life but have tight budgets, and plan cultural activities with their spouse.
Revenue Model: Free basic calendar. Customized discount alerts + ticketing integration: 2,900 KRW/month (approx. $2.20). Annual cultural spending report generation: 3,000 KRW per report (approx. $2.25).
