Comic Cafe run by Cat is popular in South Korea

People's Daily, April 10

CAFE de'COMICS is a comic book coffee shop. There are branches in South Korea's Integrity Women's University, Xincun, Hongyi University, Jianguo University, University Road and other places. The way to enjoy the service of this comic book cafe is also very simple. After paying a certain fee, you can read all the comics in the store within a limited time and provide free drinks. If you pay an extra 1000 won, you can enjoy all kinds of fried rice in the restaurant. In addition to a variety of drinks and after-dinner snacks, in order to meet a variety of needs, the restaurant also provides instant noodles and other snacks. Of course, the store also has a lower-cost payment system for customers who don't need drinks and snacks.

There are many kinds of cartoons in the store. Perhaps because of this, the comic book cafe feels more like a coffee shop than a coffee shop with comic books. What is rare is that the decoration style in the store does not lose the simplicity and comfort of the coffee shop, and the soft sofa brings lazy enjoyment to people.

Interestingly, all five CAFE de'COMICS stores have databases to analyze customers' propensity to spend and select comic books based on their age and gender. Statistics show that this marketing method has led to an increase in the number of visits by young people and female customers between the ages of 20 and 40.

In fact, comic book houses that can read comics existed for a long time, but the biggest difference between CAFE de'COMICS and traditional comic book stores is that the "protagonist" of the coffee shop is neither the manager nor the guest, but a group of lovely cats. Taking advantage of the manager's bewilderment, they proudly took small steps around the store, glancing up from time to time, making the customers in the store laugh or cry.

Perhaps because of this, the comic book store, which only boys can set foot on, has been favored by many female customers. There are also a lot of couples coming here for dates. Of course, the boys focus on comic books, while the girls focus on the cats in the store. But because of this, the boys seem to like it more here. Because you can put your girlfriend aside and read comic books freely.

It can not only satisfy the eyes and the mouth, but also enjoy the pleasant leisure time. Isn't this the legendary "paradise on earth"? No wonder some young Koreans sigh, "as long as you step here, you can experience the wonderful magic of time passing like water."
