[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Large supermarkets are launching simultaneous discount events focusing on meat such as Korean beef and pork to celebrate YukYuk (MeatMeat) Day.


According to the industry on the 4th, Emart will offer up to 50% discounts on popular items such as Korean beef, pork belly, and pork neck until the 8th. Brand Korean beef is available at a 40% discount when paid with the event card for all cuts, and brand pork belly and pork neck receive a 30% discount with the event card plus an additional 10% discount when paid with a KB card. For imported meat, 1kg of marinated LA galbi is discounted by 10,000 won when Shinsegae points are accumulated. Additionally, from now until the 6th, daily discounts of 50% will be offered on items such as Korean beef sirloin, U.S. prime upper sirloin, and Canadian pork belly and pork neck.


Lotte Mart offers up to 50% discounts on Korean beef and other meats. All first-grade Korean beef products are sold at a 30% discount through direct purchase from farms, reducing distribution steps. Domestic pork is also discounted. As part of a pre-planned purchase three months ago, 50 tons of domestic pork belly and pork neck were procured and delivered to stores through Lotte’s Fresh Quality Innovation Center, reducing distribution costs and manufacturing expenses. Australian beef is sold at up to 50% off. On Lotte On, beef, pork, chicken, smoked duck, and other meats are also discounted up to 50% during the same period.


Homeplus offers Korean beef and pork at up to 50% discounted prices. Domestic Ilpum Pork is sold at up to 50% off when paid with the event card from the 4th to the 5th. Ilpum Pork’s front leg, hind leg, ribs, pork belly, and pork neck, all boasting carefully selected first-grade or higher quality, are sold at 50% and 30% discounts respectively. All U.S. chilled grilling meat products are offered at up to 50% off for one day only on the 6th when purchased with the event card.



A Homeplus representative said, “This event was prepared so that customers can momentarily forget the burdensome prices and enjoy YukYuk Day comfortably. We hope everyone has a plentiful holiday enjoying a variety of meats at reasonable prices through this event.”
