Why here
Jinyeong Myeonok serves Pyongyang-style naengmyeon at ₩12,000 from a basement room in Doksan-dong, far south of the naengmyeon houses that draw the crowds downtown — and still runs out of seats. Beyond the noodles there is brisket gomtang, a mung-bean pancake and boiled pork raised on green tea. Sung Si-kyung's Muktende covered it in 2023.
