Actually, it turned out to be the USD21 transaction that got DCCed not the USD31.

Hi Percysmith, long time no see.
The one receipt on the left seems quite strange. To me it seems like another bill altogether. It is gonna be really shocking if a 21 USD transaction would be bumped to 31 USD because of solely DCC.
I scanned some of my receipts from Lotte.
The first one is from the Duty Free. It is really interesting that Duty Free charges USD as there base currency. If you wanna use KRW, you are DCCed... So, paying amount in USD, no DCC.
The second one is from the market on B1. I chose KRW as the currency, and the final amount is in KRW.
The third one is from a vendor on B1, just outside the market cashier. She clicked USD instead of asking me for the choice (maybe unintentionally), and I got DCCed. I didn't calculate whether it is like what the receipt says, that the DCC rate is normal rate plus a 3% markup. It is close though.
