As early as in the pre-disclosed prospectus in September, Snow Bingcheng has confirmed that it will open up new markets in Japan and South Korea. In the middle and late last month, it has entered the South Korean market, opening stores near South Korea's Central University, but there is no news of a store in the Japanese market so far. According to a sign-in post from Chinese netizens studying in South Korea, the price of "lemonade" is 2000 won, equivalent to about 10 yuan, in South Korea. Although it is a little higher than the domestic price, it is already a pro-people price compared to South Korea's local milk tea.

Many netizens on the social platform posted: "Honey Snow Ice City, there are so many people, it seems to have robbed all the business of the neighboring shops ~" and others said: "the South Korean Honey Snow Ice City opened, and the milk tea shop next door closed directly." from this we can see that Snow King went to sea. It is also very popular with overseas consumers.
