Why here
Daewoo Budae Jjigae has fed the Yeoksam office blocks since 2004 with army stew at ₩16,000 — and an upgraded ₩25,000 version built on sirloin rather than processed meat, which is the reason people cross the district for it. Sausage and beef grilled on the side turn a lunch bowl into a dinner. Sung Si-kyung's Muktende covered it in 2022.
