This is an online shopping mall that started selling stock duty-free goods at 10:00 am today.

There is a notice stating that access to the site is not smooth.

It was reported that 150,000 people were simultaneously connected to the news that they sell products of luxury brands up to 50% cheaper than commercial prices in department stores and other stores.

Before 1 pm, 80% of the 200 products were already sold out.

[Kim Young/Shinsegae International Public Relations Team Leader: It was planned to receive a pre-order and deliver it by June 14th, but it was out of stock almost 80% in one day… ] Since

it is a product that has been converted to commercial sales, tariffs are applied, but the discount is still large and it is a phenomenon that can be bought without leaving overseas.

[Kim Hyun-ji/Seoul Yangcheon-gu: Competition is fierce, like ticketing a concert… When stock comes in, I will try to challenge it.] With the

trend in Corona19's trend to reduce sales in the duty-free industry, the Korea Customs Service temporarily allowed domestic sales of stock duty-free goods.

Even at the time of offline sales at the end of this month, it is expected to reach the same level as North Korea today . If the liquidity of Won is secured, it is likely that the duty-free industry will breathe.
