Why here
Baetgodong has been licensed off the Apgujeong Rodeo strip since 1990 and still sells a squid bulgogi baekban — the stir-fry, rice and a spread of side dishes — for ₩9,000, which is roughly what a coffee costs on the next street. The same kitchen turns out live octopus and octopus hot pot at dinner prices for anyone staying longer. Sung Si-kyung's Muktende covered it in 2025.
