Partly True
The claim that the same product is being sold for up to 150,000 won more at the same store has been judged Partly True, with the final assessment supported by a review of 12 primary sources.
The central assertion — that identical products can carry a price difference of 150,000 won within the same store — reflects a real pricing practice, but the full picture is more nuanced. The finding was categorized as "Partly True" (부분 사실) rather than a fully confirmed claim, indicating that while the price gap exists, some elements of the original assertion do not hold completely.
The assessment drew on 12 primary sources. Based on this evidence base, the pricing discrepancy was judged to be genuine in substance, though the claim in its entirety did not meet the threshold of full accuracy. Details about which retailers, product categories, or sales channels were involved were not established in the reviewed material, and no specific company — including Samsung, LG, SK hynix, Naver, Kakao, or Coupang — was identified in connection with the finding.
The available information does not specify the causes of the intra-store price differences or the circumstances under which the 150,000 won gap arises. Uncertainty therefore remains over how widespread the practice is and whether it applies broadly across product lines or only in particular cases.
For consumers, the practical takeaway is that prices for the same item can vary meaningfully even within a single store, making price comparison worthwhile before purchase.
The claim that the same product is sold for 150,000 won more at the same store is, on balance, Partly True.
