This summer, Chuncheon is gaining attention as a nearby travel destination, and the trend of enjoying leisure time with coffee at spacious cafes on the outskirts of cities or resorts, known as ‘caccance’ (cafe + vacation), is becoming popular. This is because these cafes offer plenty of enjoyable elements, such as delicious food and beautiful interiors, perfect for dates.
Among the many famous spots in Chuncheon where caccance is gaining popularity, there is a standout cafe called Beoltun, a comic cafe. Chuncheon’s Beoltun cafe is a multi-cultural space where customers can enjoy comic books, Netflix, massage chairs, arcade games, and board games for just 2,400 KRW per hour.
Since the local commercial district in Chuncheon has limited spaces suitable for couples’ dates, Beoltun, which offers a variety of food and entertainment content, has rapidly risen as a ‘Chuncheon date course’ destination. It consistently ranks high in sales and records outstanding revenue among offline stores near Chuncheon CGV.
The secret to Beoltun’s popularity as a ‘Chuncheon date course’ is its ‘Netflix room.’ Inside Beoltun, there is a separate movie room where customers can watch Netflix while enjoying a meal, making it a hit among couples from teenagers to those in their 20s and 30s.
The colorful Parisian-style interior of Beoltun, reminiscent of a European trip, is enough to stimulate customers’ emotions. On social media, positive reviews such as “Beoltun’s interior is so pretty~” and “Isn’t this an interior hotspot!” are continuously posted. The interior concept of Chuncheon Beoltun is European-style ‘Parisian,’ designed to let visitors enjoy the healing atmosphere of a Paris trip within the comic cafe.
Additionally, Beoltun has installed unmanned kiosks at the entrance, allowing customers to conveniently order and pay for drinks and food through the kiosks. This also helps reduce labor costs for the store, creating a win-win effect.
Thanks to the popularity of Chuncheon cafe Beoltun, prospective franchisees interested in starting a business are leaving real-time inquiries. The Beoltun headquarters announced that on Wednesday, September 9, a small-scale business briefing session will be held directly at the Beoltun store.
Since the briefing will be held at the actual store, it aims to help those interested in cafe startups by providing various hands-on experiences, including the beautiful interior, food, entertainment, and unmanned kiosks.
A Beoltun representative stated, “To ensure a hygienic briefing session for prospective franchisees visiting the Beoltun business briefing, we strictly maintain cleanliness by requiring all visitors to wear masks, conducting non-contact temperature checks before entry, placing hand sanitizers, and cleaning the store interior every hour.”
In addition, in September, 17 startup benefits will be offered to those preparing to open a cafe. These benefits include waiving 25 million KRW for new interior upgrades, kiosk set support, board game support, popular book display stand support, 100% franchise fee support, 100% education fee support, 100% logistics deposit support, five automatic leg massage chairs, promotional banners before and after opening, and other essential startup benefits for prospective franchisees opening a book cafe Beoltun.
Meanwhile, Beoltun, a leading brand in comic cafe startups, has opened over 70 franchise stores nationwide and holds free business briefing sessions to provide information and tailored consultations to prospective franchisees. It is part of a large franchise company that also operates various brands such as iSense League PC Bang, Chicken of the Nation, Study Cafe Choshim, and Skewer’s Prestige.
