- 11st Street will hold its Grand 11th Day shopping event from April 6-16, an 11-day promotion.

As South Korea's premier online marketplace, 11st Street is gearing up for its Grand 11th Day, a significant mid-year shopping festival.
This 11-day event, running from April 6th to 16th, is a cornerstone of 11st Street's promotional calendar, building on the success of its biannual format introduced last year. The previous May event attracted a massive audience of around 22 million customers and garnered impressive engagement with 19 million cumulative live broadcast views, underscoring the platform's reach and influence in the Korean e-commerce landscape.
With pre-event reservation purchases doubling in scale and available until April 5th, 11st Street is clearly aiming to maximize customer participation and sales. This strategic move reflects the competitive nature of the South Korean online retail market, where major platforms vie for consumer attention through large-scale promotional events.
