Lotte Department Store said on the 9th it will run a special promotion for customers taking the 2026 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT). The period is three days from the 14th to the 16th.
Lotte Department Store plans to hold discount events for about 90 fashion brands. In particular, popular Gen Z (born in the early 2000s) brands such as Setter, Superdry, Uniform Bridge, Rawrow, and Musinsa Standard will offer an additional 10% to 30% off with a test slip. Exclusive K-fashion brands at Lotte Department Store, including 999 Humanity, VIVSLOW, Knitted, and ETCE, will also apply an additional 10% discount for customers who verify their test slip.
Sports brands will also run special discounts for test-takers. Nike will offer an additional 10% off for test-takers. Skechers and Crocs will run additional discount events of 20% to 30%.
There will also be giveaways to thank test-takers for their purchases. At O HOS, those who spend 300,000 won or more on the day will receive a "Star Quilted Padded Backpack," and at Depound, "Holiday Knit Gloves" will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Yale will sell a limited test-taker gift package—including a hoodie, notebook, and mug—exclusively at Lotte Department Store Jamsil through the 16th.
At Time Villas Suwon, from the 13th, the day of the CSAT, to the 16th, those who show their test slip at the information desk on the second floor will receive a mobile voucher that includes instant F&B (food and beverage) discount coupons. Free tickets (two per person) will also be offered for the home game of the V-League professional volleyball club Korea Electric Power Corporation Big Storm, based in Suwon. In addition, at Lotte Mall Gimpo Airport, from the 13th, those who present a test slip at the GF-floor gift desk will receive, on a first-come, first-served basis, instant discount coupons usable at F&B, dining, and cafe stores through the Lotte Department Store app, limited to 2,000 people.
Min U-gi, head of the young culture team at Lotte Department Store, said, "This year, we strengthened benefits for test-taker customers and expanded participation by popular Gen Z K-fashion brands."
