”Mixed dumplings?” Rip-off at Kwangjang Market in Seoul, Korea
Recently, it has been reported that Gwangjang Market in Seoul, South Korea, which has been embroiled in controversy over its rip-off prices, is still using new tactics to rip people off.
On the 7th, a post titled "Latest news from Kwangjang Market where a sundae scam took place" spread across social networking sites and online platforms.
The footage was captured from the YouTube channel "Gourmet Boys" and was posted on the 10th of last month.
The statue shows a gourmet visiting Gwangjang Market with a foreign acquaintance, ordering and eating sundae and dumplings in a foreign language.
Gourmet Boy said, "Foreigners are shocked by new scam at Kwangjang Market."
"A foreign acquaintance of mine said he wanted to go to Kwangjang Market once, so I went," he said. "It's true that after the 'Tteokbokki Queen' video, both store clerks and customers have become more cautious.
"Feeling a little relieved, I went to a restaurant where a friendly looking waiter was trying to attract customers and sat down," he explained. The gourmet man was having a conversation in English with a foreign acquaintance, who was trying to pick up the menu.
After watching the menu, he ordered his own food. The gourmet man said, "The waiter must have thought I wasn't Korean, because he served me meat dumplings as kimchi dumplings. The sundae was served correctly, but I ordered meat dumplings.
"But I said, 'Mix Mix!' and mixed the meat dumplings with the kimchi dumplings," he said, revealing his embarrassment.
The "meat dumplings + kimchi dumplings" cost 10,000 won (about 1,121 yen). My friend noticed the situation from my stiff expression and was surprised. I was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"I can't believe it," he said, unable to hide his bitter feelings. "He also said 'mix mix' to the Southeast Asian tourist next to him, and doubled his serving," he said, "What was even more shocking was the 'mix gyoza'.
"It means that 'children' is not on the menu. It seems that people don't change that easily," he said angrily. Internet users who saw this comment commented, "It's not something that's widely known through the media.
They responded negatively, saying things like, "There are still so many people like this out there? I really shouldn't go there," "Don't the store staff think about this?" and "It's embarrassing for foreigners."
Prior to this, in February, YouTuber "Tteokbokki Queen" reported that a restaurant in Kwangjang Market was "changing its menu" to sell 6,000 won (about 673 yen) of soup stock per person.
Toppoque Queen once visited the store for the first time in two years and revealed that the store clerk was still scamming people in the same way, sparking online outrage.
The company warned users to be careful of the "menu changing" technique.
