Food creators
Food is one of the easiest reasons to film Korea. Seoul's markets, such as Gwangjang, serve bindaetteok, gimbap and yukhoe at shared counters, Korean barbecue is built for the camera, and Busan adds fish markets and dwaeji gukbap. Seasonal dishes change the menu through the year, so your dates shape the story.
Where do food creators go?
- Gwangjang Market for a guided evening of market classics.
- Korean barbecue and late-night pojangmacha-style tents.
- Jagalchi fish market in Busan.
- Jeju's black pork and seafood, for longer trips.
What should I know?
Tell us about allergies and diets early; seafood, pork and wheat are everywhere. Ask vendors before filming them close up, and buy from the stalls you feature.
