Executive Summary
Junk.fun, a pioneering Solana-based meme token recycling platform backed by Bonk and Manta Network, successfully launched its "Korea-Exclusive Season 2 Event".

Strategic Insights
The campaign's success validates the "Utility-First" marketing approach. By requiring users to actually use the product (burning tokens) to enter, Junk.fun acquired high-quality, active users rather than passive airdrop hunters. The "Korea-Exclusive" framing effectively tapped into local community FOMO, establishing a strong beachhead in Asia's most dynamic market.
