Living in South Korea as an expat or international student usually means finding a balance between budgeting and eating well. But right now, you don't have to choose.

Lotte Mart has just launched a massive promotional campaign, slashing the price of live Canadian lobsters by up to 50%. They’ve flown in a record-breaking 150,000 live lobsters straight from Canada, making luxury dining incredibly affordable.

If you want to feast like a king on a student budget, here is everything you need to know to hack this sale—and how to ensure your tech is ready for the checkout counter.

The Details: Why This Lobster Sale is a Big Deal

Lobster prices have been soaring due to high exchange rates, but Lotte Mart bypassed intermediate vendors to buy in bulk. June is also prime lobster season—right before their spawning period—meaning the meat is at its absolute fullest and sweetest.

• The Discount: Up to 50% off live, chilled Canadian lobsters (Medium/Large sizes).

• The Perks: Lotte Mart is offering a free steaming service in-store. You pick your live lobster, they steam it for you on the spot, and you take it home hot and ready to eat.

• How to Get the Deal: The maximum discount is applied when using major Korean event cards (like Lotte, Shinhan, KB Kookmin, or NH Nonghyup) or by scanning your L.Point membership app.
