Lotte Department Store's Sangin branch in Daegu is launching a series of benefits for military personnel and their families to commemorate the "Month of Patriots and Martyrs." The initiative aims to express gratitude to soldiers for their dedication to the nation.

The department store has established an "Honors Club" within its app community, "Lot Back Club," specifically for soldiers and families belonging to the Army's 2nd Operational Command. Members can receive various perks, including mobile coupons equivalent to 5% of fashion and beauty purchases, 3,000 L.Point points, three hours of free parking, and VIP bar beverage services.

In addition to ongoing benefits, the Sangin branch previously hosted a movie event on April 22, inviting approximately 330 soldiers and their families for a screening and popcorn. The store also recently held a "National Patriots and Martyrs Commemoration Lucky 4 Days" event, offering mobile gift certificates and food court discounts based on purchase amounts.

Lotte Department Store plans to expand these "Honors Club" services to four locations in the Daegu region, including the Daegu branch, Lotte Outlet S-Polis, and Yulha branch. The company intends to continuously strengthen its role as a lifestyle-focused platform supporting local military personnel and their families. Jang Yoon-seok, the manager of Lotte Department Store Sangin branch, stated that the program was designed to convey appreciation for the sacrifices of soldiers and that they plan to expand such programs in the future.
