Korean hot deal sites
In Korea, bargains are not posted in one place. Shoppers share them on community boards such as Ppomppu, Ruliweb and Quasarzone, and online stores run their own flash sales on top. This guide lists the main communities and shows how to follow all of them at once.
Dudeoji Deals (dudeoji.com) collects hot deals from the communities below in real time, groups posts about the same product, and shows each price against the lowest price we have recorded. Every deal links back to the original post.

Hot deal aggregators
If you do not want to visit every community, use an aggregator. A widely used one in Korea is Algumon (algumon.com), which gathers many community deal boards into one screen with the latest deals, rankings and keyword alerts.
Dudeoji Deals solves the same problem in a different way. Instead of only listing collected posts, it groups posts about the same product and builds a price history. That makes the following possible.
- Lowest recorded price per productDeals for the same product are grouped, so you can see at once whether today's price is the lowest yet.
- Prices anyone can payComparisons exclude card or membership discounts, using the price every buyer actually pays.
- Communities and store sales togetherCommunity deals and stores' own flash sales appear in one feed.
- Keyword alertsGet alerts for your keywords, a Telegram channel for new deals, and mobile app push notifications.
How we calculate the lowest and usual price is explained in How Dudeoji judges a price.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start looking for hot deals in Korea?
Bargains are spread across many community boards such as Ppomppu, Ruliweb and Quasarzone, so watching only one means missing deals posted elsewhere. Start with a service that collects many boards into one screen, and follow the original boards of the communities you care about.
How is Dudeoji Deals different from Algumon?
Both collect hot deals from many communities. Dudeoji Deals also groups the price history of each product to track its lowest price, and compares prices without conditional discounts such as card promotions.
Why does the lowest recorded price matter?
A discount rate alone does not tell you whether a price is really low. You need to know how low the same product has gone before and what it usually sells for. Dudeoji Deals groups every deal by product and builds this record automatically.
Which communities does Dudeoji Deals collect?
The list on this page shows the communities we collect now (25 at the moment). Every deal card names the original community and links to the original post.
