Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is Chongdae Shop? And how do you use it?
Chongdae Shop is an open service that gathers people who want to purchase a specific event so that they can each get the privilege of the member they want. [How to Use] After selecting the desired event in Chongdae Shop, choose the company issuing the privilege and the member of that privilege on the page, then proceed with the purchase. At the bottom of the event page, you can check the quantity sold so far and the current order number of Chongdae. [Precautions] Chongdae Shop is a service that can only be delivered once all members of each group are sold out. If the sales of that group are not completed, the purchased product may be canceled. (Even if an order in Chongdae Shop is canceled, to prevent any purchase issues on the original event site, Chongdae Shop closes 1 day before the event ends.)
