Why here
Namsan Makchang is a Bogwang-dong grill in Yongsan built around garomaksal and galmaegisal — the skirt and diaphragm cuts of pork prized for their chew — rather than the intestine its name suggests. It opened in 2023 and became a queue spot after Davichi's Kang Min-kyung named it a favorite and TV coverage followed.
