Those who spend 800,000 won or more will receive essence lotion and a moisturizer, and purchases of 1.2 million won or more will get essence cream, moisturizer, clear lotion and a mask at no extra charge.

There will also be a 10 percent cashback event for all customers subscribed to the monthly WOW membership subscription, with customers of the WOW card, a credit card released in collaboration with KB Kookmin Card, receiving an extra four percent cashback. The cashback will be offered through Coupang’s in-house point system, Coupang Cash, and will be capped at 150,000 won a day.

“We plan to continuously introduce global premium brands [to Rocket Luxury] that meet the demand of our customer base,” the company said Tuesday.
