Korean Pork Day is a major event held once every six months. From the 20th to the 23rd, all first-grade Korean pork products (refrigerated) will be discounted up to 40% when paid in full with the event card. For example, first-grade or higher selected Samgyeopsal (pork belly) and Moksim (pork neck) (refrigerated, domestic) will be sold at 1,650 KRW per 100g, discounted 40% from the regular price of 2,750 KRW per 100g. According to the Livestock Products Quality Evaluation Service, the average retail prices on October 16 for domestic Samgyeopsal and Moksim were 2,702 KRW and 2,533 KRW per 100g, respectively, making the event prices approximately 39% and 35% cheaper.

Emart increased the event volume by about 20% compared to a year ago. During the event period, customers who purchase Korean pork event products totaling 25,000 KRW or more and accumulate Shinsegae points will be automatically entered into the prize draw by additionally completing a survey called "My Korean Pork Preferred Cut Selection" on the Emart application (app).

Prizes include 1 grand prize winner receiving a Golden Pig Gold Bar 10 Don (37.5g), 2 second prize winners receiving an Airwrap Multi Styler Complete Long, 2 third prize winners receiving AirPods Pro 2nd generation, 20 fourth prize winners receiving Ematicon gift certificates worth 30,000 KRW, and 75 fifth prize winners receiving Ematicon gift certificates worth 10,000 KRW. Prize winners can individually check their winning status on the Emart app on Friday, November 10.

To ease consumers' grocery price burdens due to recent agricultural product price increases, Emart also planned a discount event for leafy vegetables and seasonal agricultural food products. In line with the Korean Pork Day event, assorted ssam (wrap) packs (domestic) will be sold from the 20th to the 25th at 3,980 KRW, a 20% discount from the regular price of 4,980 KRW when Shinsegae points are accumulated. Seasonal fruits such as Shinano Gold and Gamhong apples, which are only briefly available for 2 to 3 weeks in October, will also be featured as event products.

Sweet potatoes, which have recently seen increased purchases, will be offered in a "fill the bag" event for 3 days from the 20th to the 22nd, sold at 5,990 KRW per bag.
