Starting from the 6th, 190,000 masks will be supplied daily to 1,900 Hanaro Mart stores nationwide, excluding the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas. However, only one mask can be purchased per person.


Nonghyup Hanaro Distribution announced on the 5th, "From the 6th, until the duplicate purchase verification system is established, only one mask per person per day can be purchased at Hanaro Mart."


However, after the duplicate purchase verification system is in place, up to two masks per person per week can be purchased.


The so-called 'mask purchase 5-day rotation system,' which allows masks to be purchased only on designated days based on the last digit of the birth year, will also be applied after the duplicate purchase verification system is established.


The mask sales price will be standardized at 1,500 won per mask.



Starting from the 6th, Nonghyup Hanaro Mart, together with the post office, will distribute official mask purchase number tickets at 9:30 a.m. to minimize customer inconvenience and prevent repeated purchases.
