This Week's Hot Price is a project where Lotte Mart selects items weekly to sell at ultra-low prices. This event was planned to coincide with Samsam Day, a day with high samgyeopsal consumption, selecting samgyeopsal and neck meat.

From February 29th to March 3rd, for four days, Lotte Mart and Lotte Super will offer a 50% discount on 'Domestic Korean Pork Samgyeopsal and Neck Meat (100g each, refrigerated)' when paying with event cards. Lotte Mart will sell them at 1,390 KRW, and Lotte Super at 1,590 KRW. However, to provide discount benefits to many customers, Lotte Mart will limit sales to 2 kg per person, and Lotte Super will limit to 3 packs per person.

To offer half-price samgyeopsal, Lotte Mart and Lotte Super prepared 500 tons of event stock using integrated sourcing. The Fresh Quality Innovation Center operated by Lotte Mart directly handled the product processing to reduce distribution stages and enhance price competitiveness.

Quality control standards were also improved to provide the optimal ratio of samgyeopsal. Since winter pork tends to have higher fat content and thicker fat layers, these measures were taken to prevent quality degradation. Lotte Mart doubled the number of sample inspections at the receiving stage and raised inspection standards. At the same time, processing standards were strengthened to remove more fat than before.

Additionally, Lotte Mart prepared food products that pair well with samgyeopsal at reasonable prices. Representative products include 'Yongin Jo Youngjun Farmer’s GAP Assorted Wraps (250g, 1 pack, domestic)' and 'Green Onion Salad (400g, 1 pack, domestic),' which are sold with a 1,000 KRW discount per pack when purchasing two or more. 'Hanchae and Cheongdo Minari' are offered at 1,990 KRW per 100g, and 'GAP Eco-friendly King Oyster Mushrooms' at 2,990 KRW. 'Haechandle Four Seasons Ssamjang (500g)' is a buy-one-get-one-free (1+1) event product sold at 5,180 KRW for two, and 'Baeksul Herb Salt 4 Types (Original, Garlic, Spicy, Truffle)' are sold at over 15% discount, each priced at 2,480 KRW.

Furthermore, to stabilize prices, a livestock product discount event will be held until March 6th. The 'Grade 1 Korean Beef Soup Meat Pack (700g, refrigerated)' is priced at about 2,900 KRW per 100g, totaling 20,900 KRW, and 'Yorihada Jeju Black Pork Bulgogi (1kg, refrigerated)' is offered at a 50% discount to L.POINT members, priced at 9,950 KRW. On the weekend from March 1st to 3rd, a weekend special event will be held, offering 'Australian Steamed Ribs' at 50% discount and 'Chicken for Braised Chicken Stew (1.2kg, refrigerated, domestic)' at 6,990 KRW.

Lee Seunghyun, MD (Merchandiser) of the Livestock Team at Lotte Mart and Super, said, "For this Samsam Day, we thoroughly managed quality to provide customers with satisfaction not only through exceptional prices but also product quality. In addition to samgyeopsal and neck meat, we have prepared related products at reasonable prices, so we hope customers take this opportunity to enjoy a Samsam Day home party with their families without burden."
