CU, a convenience store operated by BGF Retail, will start the industry's first dedicated eSIM offline service at about 18,000 stores nationwide on the 25th. eSIM is a service that allows smart devices to use foreign wireless networks via QR codes without a physical SIM card. CU launched this service in response to the increasing demand for eSIMs as more Korean tourists travel to Japan. The usage method is also convenient. Unlike the previous method where customers had to purchase online and print the QR code separately, CU's eSIM service automatically prints the QR code for service use on the receipt issued at the convenience store. By scanning and setting the issued QR code domestically on the day of departure, users can immediately use wireless communication services upon landing at a Japanese airport. CU's eSIM service offers options of 1GB data (3,800 KRW to 10,200 KRW) or unlimited data (12,000 KRW to 30,000 KRW), with usage fees varying by duration (3, 5, 7, or 10 days). The service price is also about 20% cheaper than the market price (5,000 KRW) for 3 days of 1GB (3,800 KRW), making it cost-effective.
