Gone with Sandbag

Giant retailer Homeplus opens a “stress-free zone” at its Yeongdeungpo branch in Seoul on March 9. In the zone, customers can hit sandbags, which symbolize the skyrocketing prices, to release their stress. The grocery franchise has been offering a 10 percent special discount on 103 types of Korean products including fruits and vegetables since March 6 at its 66 outlets around the country.
