Coupang and Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries Launch Lunar New Year Special Discount Event on Fishing Village Specialty Products

30% Discount on Specialty Products at Fishing Village Experience and Recreation Villages for One Month... Up to 30,000 KRW Discount per Person

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Coupang announced on the 26th that it will hold a '30% Discount Event on Specialty Products from Fishing Village Experience and Recreation Villages' for one month until the 28th of next month. This event was prepared in collaboration with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to reduce the burden on consumers' shopping baskets during the Lunar New Year holiday while expanding the market for specialty products from fishing villages.

Coupang, together with the Korea Fishing Village and Port Corporation under the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, offers a variety of products so that customers can purchase high-quality specialty products produced in fishing villages at more reasonable prices. The products in this event consist of specialty products provided by nationwide fishing village experience and recreation villages, fishing village 6th industry pilot villages, and other fishing tourism management entities, made or harvested directly in the villages.

Any Coupang member can download a 30% discount coupon and use it when purchasing desired specialty products. To ensure that more people can evenly benefit, a discount of up to 30,000 KRW per person is provided. Since this event is prepared by local residents rather than large seafood processing companies, the discount event may end early depending on the stock quantity.

Yoon Hye-young, Vice President of Coupang Retail, said, "We planned this special exhibition together with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to support fishermen who are struggling due to the impact of COVID-19, and we are offering consumers high-quality seafood at discounted prices." She added, "We will continue to enhance satisfaction for both consumers and producers through various events in the future."
