Hyundai Department Store Opens 'Club YP Lounge' Exclusively for 20s and 30s... "Targeting MZ Generation"

Hyundai Department Store will open the 'Club YP Lounge' for 20s and 30s VIP customers at The Hyundai Seoul and Pangyo stores on the 15th, marking the first of its kind in the industry.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Hyundai Department Store announced on the 13th that it will open the industry's first 'Club YP Lounge' for VIP customers in their 20s and 30s at The Hyundai Seoul and Pangyo stores on the 15th. The plan is to focus on content and marketing targeting the MZ generation (Millennials + Generation Z) to capture young customers with high potential purchasing power in the Yeouido commercial district, where financial and securities companies are concentrated, and the Pangyo commercial district, which is home to many IT companies.

Club YP is a VIP membership program for customers born in 1983 or later, combining the first letter of 'Young' meaning youth and the last letter of 'VIP' meaning valuable customer. Eligible members include customers who have purchased over 30 million KRW with a Hyundai Department Store card, outstanding donors, and outstanding volunteers. From the day after applying for membership, VIP benefits such as valet parking service and six months of interest-free service on luxury purchases are provided.

The Club YP Lounge features differentiated interior design. Unlike existing VIP lounges that used achromatic colors such as white and black, it uses vivid primary colors like blue, yellow, and green. Unique sculptures reflecting the designer's distinctive sensibility have also been installed.

Hyundai Department Store decided to operate the Club YP Lounge because the purchasing power of customers in their 20s and 30s is increasing. From January to September this year, the luxury sales growth rate of customers aged 30 or younger at Hyundai Department Store was 48.2%, 1.2 times higher than the overall average of 38.2%. The proportion of customers aged 30 or younger among all luxury buyers also increased from 42.2% last year to 48.7% this year.

Hyundai Department Store plans to introduce additional Club YP Lounges targeting MZ generation customers at major stores in the future. A Hyundai Department Store official said, "Through the Club YP Lounge, we plan to operate events preferred by the MZ generation, such as luxury new product showcases and small-scale parties."
