TLDR

  • E-mart is launching 'cup mulhoe' (cold raw fish soup) to cater to the early summer heat and growing demand for convenient meals.
  • The retailer is also offering discounts on related products, including instant rice and frozen side dishes, as sales in these categories have increased.
  • New products include a convenience meal made with Korean rice and a 'Peacock Chicken Breast Roll' for dieters.

As the summer heat arrives earlier than usual, E-mart is stepping up its marketing efforts for convenient meals, aiming to capture the taste buds of consumers seeking refreshing options. The increasing demand for easy-to-prepare foods, as opposed to home cooking, is driving the expansion of this product category.

Reflecting this trend, E-mart has seen a significant rise in sales for instant rice and frozen side dishes. To capitalize on this momentum, the retailer is holding a promotional event offering discounts on these popular items. The star of this promotion is undoubtedly the 'cup mulhoe,' a convenient, single-serving dish designed for individuals and those enjoying outdoor activities.

This innovative product, packed with various vegetables and locally sourced seafood like sea squirt, sea cucumber, and flatfish, requires only the addition of pre-packaged broth for an instant, refreshing meal anywhere. E-mart's commitment extends to other convenient options, including new instant rice products developed in collaboration with local authorities to promote Korean rice consumption, and various meal kits and snacks. The company emphasizes its dedication to providing delicious, convenient, and affordable meal solutions for busy modern lifestyles.

For busy modern people, convenient meals have become deeply ingrained in daily life. E-mart will lead the way in making convenience foods not only convenient but also more delicious and affordable.
