About **half** of Pepero's year sells around 11/11.. That is Lotte Wellfood's own figure. In November 2021, GS25 sold **52.2%** of its whole year's Pepero in that one month.

"2+2" — with **which card?**. The deep Pepero Day discounts need a **Korean card or a Korean pay app** (GS Pay, Kakao Pay, Naver Pay, listed bank cards). With a foreign card you usually pay the full ₩2,000. Look for a plain **1+1 / 2+1** sticker instead.

The set costs **exactly its boxes.**. November 2024, box ₩1,800: the six-flavour box was **₩10,800** — six boxes. The NewJeans set, **₩14,400** — eight. You pay for the tin and the photo card, not a discount.
