“One plate per person!” “What, are they all sold out already?” These are the voices heard from the egg section of a large supermarket in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the morning of July 1st. People flocked to the store even before it opened on this day, advertising that ‘a plate of domestic special eggs (30 eggs)’ was being sold for 6,380 won. As soon as the doors opened at 10 a.m., people immediately gathered in front of the egg stand. The discounted quantity that day was 40 special eggs. 20 copies each were sold in two batches, and the second batch ran out within two minutes as soon as the clerk put it on the cart. Even before it was displayed, people picked it up and put it in their shopping carts. Mr. Kim, in his 50s, said, "These days, if you want to buy discounted eggs, you have to come and wait 30 minutes before opening. I arrived a little late today, so I was nervous, but I finally got it." Mr. Lee, in his 60s, walked away, saying, “I came at the store opening time, but I couldn’t buy it.” “It’s not selling because it’s expensive.” Sales discontinued Recently, as the price of eggs, an ‘essential food ingredient,’ continues to skyrocket, consumers who want to buy eggs at a lower price are flocking to the ‘Open Store.’
