You have 2 weeks.

Still don’t know where to start.
I’ve lived in Mangwon-dong for 4 years.
Every week — same market, same river, same streets. Not researched. Just where I actually eat.
You know that feeling — standing in a Korean market, everyone else ordering like it’s nothing, you just… standing there.
And even if you push through it alone, you walk away with photos, not understanding. Just another stop on the list.
Korean food culture runs deep. You don’t scratch the surface of it — you need someone already inside it.
That’s why I made this.
Come join me.
