``15,000 won dakgangjeong''... ``rip-off'' controversial at Gyeongju Cherry Blossom Festival = South Korea

A series of food rip-offs at festivals across the country are causing controversy. On the 2nd, an online community said, ``15,000 won (approx. 168 yen) for the Gyeongju Cherry Blossom Festival.
A post with the title, ``Dakgangjeong (chicken) (4 yen) gets bad comments,'' was published. Mr. A, who wrote the post, said, ``Dakgangjeong I bought on the street in Heungmuro, Gyeongju.''
However, it was not heated and there were only a few pieces in it.'' He also posted a photo of fries and dakganjeong, saying, ``This costs 15,000 won, I'm shocked.''
I got it. Previously, the 10,000 won (approximately 1,123 yen) chaeyuk (stir-fried pork) bowl sold at the Yeouido Spring Flower Festival also caused controversy as a rip-off.
A citizen who visited the Yeouido Spring Flower Festival posted a photo of a bowl with several pieces of meat and three pieces of pickled radish, and wrote, ``The few pieces of pork were fatty.
It was just that," he said. Meanwhile, the government and local governments have been operating a joint rip-off fee inspection task force (TF) since last month. TF is the price for food sales items.
Although intensive checks are being carried out to ensure that there is a clear display of information such as weight and grade lists, there is no end to the rip-off controversy all over the country.
