Lotte Department Store will host a giant flea market at Icheon, Gyeonggi Province’s Lotte Premium Outlet on Saturday and Sunday, coinciding with its “Black Shopping Day” sales.

According to LDS, this will be the biggest flea market to be organized by a corporation to date in terms of area and the number of participants -- 300 sellers in a 5,000-square-meter space.

Apart from popular local foods and individual collections and handcrafted art, belongings of hallyu stars such as Park Shin-hye, Seo Kang-joon and GFriend will also go on sale in a charity auction.

LDS’ marketing director Lee Wan-shin said, “A flea market is not a place of simple commodity trade, but a chance to enjoy art and culture.” He expected 120,000 visitors to the complex.

At the Black Shopping Day sales, more than 200 brands will give additional discounts of 10-30 percent, while some will offer giveaways according to the amount of money spent.
