[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] The dining and food industry began so-called ‘After Suneung’ marketing on the 18th targeting students who completed the 2022 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT).

According to the industry on the day, SPC Group’s Italian restaurant La Griglia will offer one of two popular pasta dishes, Royal Carbonara or Cream Bolognese Pasta, for free to test takers from that day until the 28th. This benefit is provided when presenting a coupon downloaded through the Happy Point application (app) and the test admission ticket, with a purchase of 40,000 KRW or more.

SPC Group’s coffee specialty store Pascucci will offer a 2,000 KRW discount on made-to-order beverages for three days starting on the 18th when presenting the CSAT admission ticket and Happy Point app coupon.

Ashley will hold an event from the 19th to the 30th of this month, offering test takers who bring their admission ticket weekday dinner at lunch prices.

Business hotel Shilla Stay will hold an ‘After Suneung’ event from the 19th to the 5th of next month, providing discount benefits to test takers and their families when using their buffet restaurant ‘Cafe’.

If three or more people, including the test taker, visit during lunch or dinner hours, up to two test takers can enter for free. This event is held at 12 branches nationwide except for the Jeju branch.

After using the buffet restaurant, test takers can present two universities of their choice, and if they are later admitted to those universities, they will receive free accommodation vouchers for themselves and their parents through the ‘Thanks Mom’ promotion.

Genesis BBQ will run a promotion for three days starting on the 19th through its official Instagram, giving away Lotte World comprehensive admission tickets. To participate, repost the event post uploaded on the official account and upload a story with the name of a test taker friend you want to comfort along with the phrase “You did well, OO”.

BBQ plans to announce 25 winners through its official Instagram account on the 24th. Each winner will receive two Lotte World comprehensive admission tickets, totaling 50 tickets, with a validity period of three months from the date of issuance.

Domino’s Pizza will upgrade orders placed online or via mobile to Super Seed Dough for free for two days starting on the 18th. This offer is available for up to four pizzas per person. KFC will offer a 1+1 deal on chicken menu items during the same period regardless of time.
