<Reporter> In

the early morning when it rains, people stand in front of department stores with their tails on their tails.


After allowing temporary sales of domestic duty-free goods, buyers gathered at the first offline sales event.

[Hello. Please wait for the admission

ticket after waiting for the ticket .] Starting with the first guest arriving at 6 AM, all 700 number cards prepared in 30 minutes after opening were all the same.

[Choi Young-ja/Gangbuk-gu, Seoul: If you go overseas, you will use a Lotte or Shilla duty-free shop, but you can't go, so you can buy luxury goods in Seoul cheaply. (How many number plates?) That's number one.] At a

similar time, the Yongin Outlet in Gyeonggi also achieved phosphate cuts.

[Dahee Kim / Suwon, Gyeonggi: You can't even imagine taking a flight. Recently. So, I came to buy duty-free goods. I think the price was a little less expensive.] As of

6:00 pm, sales at three department stores and outlets were 740 million won.

The Corona 19 crisis has given the duty-free industry a sigh of dip in the face of a sharp drop in sales and inventory burden.

[Woo Soon-Hyung/Director of Product Department, Lotte Department Store: The government has temporarily allowed duty-free goods in Korea to sell duty-free products that have been made available for sale.]

Starting tomorrow, the government-led'Korea Accompanying Sale' event will be held to save the stagnant domestic demand. Begins.

[Gangseoncheon/SME Venture Business Department: Up to 30-40% off price discounts through online planning exhibitions, offline discount promotions are held at large retailers and manufacturers such as department stores.]

The event, which runs until the 12th of the next month, has more than 600 traditional markets and 5,000 local supermarkets, and you can check detailed discount information through the homepage or dedicated call center.
