Corgis usually don't shed a lot and do so twice a year for winter and summer.

I have to insert a gentle correction here - corgis do shed and shed a lot. The rule of thumb is yes, they only shed twice a year - January to June and July to December.
Shedding can be a reason/excuse they are turned over to rescue. IF someone doesn't want to deal with a volume of dog hair, then they should look for another breed besides corgis. Someone still dealing with a puppy coat hasn't been through the amount of fur an adult corgi can put out during a full blow. The below link will give you an idea of how much an adult corgi can and does shed:

Keep in mind there was no grooming done when he began to blow/shed his coat and this was done to illustrate the volume of hair a corgi can put out.
While there isn't a magic answer to fix shedding, there are somethings that can help cut down, a bit, on the volume. Good diet and regular routine grooming - brushing and combing does help.
