A total of 67 Homeplus stores, which had been temporarily closed, are scheduled to reopen on August 13. To mark the reopening, there will be discount events on various products such as Korean beef and fried chicken inside the stores.

According to Homeplus on August 12, the 67 stores that are reopening had a temporary opening on August 7 for operational inspection, and after further checks and improvements, they will officially reopen starting August 13.

From August 14, for three days, 'Dangdang Fried Chicken' will be sold at offline stores for half price, in the 3,400 won range. The sale is limited to one chicken per person, and the Seogwipo branch is excluded. In addition, premium Korean pork samgyeopsal and pork neck will be discounted by 40%, and meats, seafood, fruits, snacks, beverages, deli items, and bakery products will be offered at up to 50% off or buy-one-get-one-free deals depending on the period.

Among the 67 stores reopening, a total of 59 locations—excluding the Asiad, Nam Daegu, Samcheok, Boryeong, Ochang, Songtan, Gangneung, and Guwol branches—will also resume online operations from August 13. A Homeplus representative stated, "We ask for your support so that Homeplus, as a key facility in daily life, can stand back up. We will repay our customers by providing high-quality products at affordable prices."

Recently, Homeplus faced the risk of liquidation due to the abolition of rehabilitation proceedings and temporary closure of all stores. However, by securing 200 billion won in emergency DIP (Debtor-in-Possession) financing from its largest creditor, Meritz Financial Group, and major shareholder MBK Partners, the company was able to continue its rehabilitation process.

Meanwhile, at 10 a.m. on August 13, the Democratic Party of Korea, the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, the Progressive Party, the Social Democratic Party, and the Homeplus Rehabilitation Emergency Committee will hold a press conference at the Gangseo branch of Homeplus in Gangseo-gu, Seoul.
