Explanation at your level:
Significado
To receive a reduction in price.
Contexto cultural
The 'Membership' (멤버십) culture is huge. Most people use their mobile carrier points (SKT, KT, LG U+) to get discounts at bakeries, convenience stores, and cinemas. 'Service' (서비스) is a unique cultural concept where the owner gives you something for free instead of a cash discount. It's common in restaurants and clothing stores. Traditional markets (재래시장) are the only places where aggressive haggling (깎기) is still common. In modern malls, prices are fixed unless there is an official sale. Online shopping apps like 'Coupang' or 'Market Kurly' use 'Coupon' (쿠폰) and 'Time Sale' (타임세일) as the primary ways to '할인을 받다'.
Check your phone!
In Korea, always check your mobile carrier app (T-World, etc.) before paying at a chain store to see if you can get a discount.
Don't haggle in CVS
Never ask for a discount ('할인해 주세요') in convenience stores or large department stores unless there is a sign.
