”Please throw away 20 drinks”... Aimed at game character Kiho LUDA = Korea

The beverage franchise GongCha is seeing an increase in customers who are asking for their drinks to be disposed of after ordering them.
According to a Korean online community on the 19th, game enthusiasts and scalpers are drinking more than 20 times in order to get their hands on Turkey LUDA.
After ordering, they ask that only the keyhole be picked up and the drink thrown away, because not only is there too much to drink, but the wait time is too long.
Prior to this, Gong Cha will be offering a special promotion for Final Fantasy XIV, which will run until the 28th of next month, when customers spend over 10,000 won (approximately 1,130 yen) on one of three event drinks.
It was revealed that one of three types of keychains featuring XIV characters Fat Cat, Fat Chocobo, and Moogle will be given away. In addition, it was revealed that there will be a special event for those who want to collect rare items.
They hoped that the drink would attract the attention of gamers who play games. However, Gong Cha stores are heartbroken by the amount of drinks that are being thrown away. People who visited Gong Cha said, "The employees are crying. It's such a shame.
"There are people who are buying drinks from the people next to them, but there are even more drinks that are being thrown away," he said. Some people say that they have been able to fully prevent hoarding and the disposal of drinks.
"If measures such as purchase restrictions had been put in place, drinks would not have been thrown away," and "If purchase restrictions had been put in place to prevent hoarding, a more diverse range of consumers would have had the opportunity to purchase."
There has also been a debate about regional discrimination. Online communities have taken issue with the fact that Key Holder stores are concentrated in the Tokyo metropolitan area, with comments such as, "This is an event that shows no consideration for consumers," and "They should have branches all over the country."
"If there is a need, shouldn't the event be held nationwide?" he said, expressing his dissatisfaction. Gong Cha has 18 Kiho LUDA stores in Seoul, 2 in Busan, 1 in Daegu, and 1 in Woollen.
There are one store in Ulsan and one in Chungcheong. There are no stores in Gangwon, Jeolla, or Jeju.
