In South Korea, major supermarkets like Emart, Homeplus, and Lotte Mart have initiated a fierce price war over pork belly, offering it at dramatically low prices to commemorate 'Samgyeopsal Day' (March 3rd). These deals have led to a shopping frenzy, with customers lining up hours before stores open to purchase the limited supply. The competition resulted in a tenfold increase in pork sales compared to average weekends, signaling the impact of these extreme discounts on consumer behavior.
