Yeah, the measurement of “plates” is really vague. Plates come in all kinds of sizes. People usually eat kimchi as banchan, or a side dish. I have lived in Korea for a long time, and I have never heard of nor seen anyone eat that I would consider a plate full, let alone three plates in one day.

This CNN article is super well written and goes into a lot of detail of this place. Highly recommended if you’re interested in learning more.

The problem was that it wasn’t organized. It was just the first Halloween in Itaewon since COVID and the police didn’t plan for there to be such a big turnout. The annual foreign food festival was held a few weeks before Halloween, and the district office closed down the main streets to hold it. They should’ve did the same for Halloween, but hindsight is 50/50 or whatever.

That’s the thing: most of them are not willingly there. Military service is compulsory for all able-bodied, South Korean men.

Reminds me of this video where a shirtless Chinese fella is wading in a giant pool of kimchi. The video led to a Korean boycott of Chinese kimchi, which is commonly served in greasy spoons across Korea.

Wait, so G is also your N?

Or, ya know, just explain in the post description why it’s relevant to post a 26 year old article. Lots of lazy folk just read the headline and think that it’s current events… but you know that, don’t you?

Then maybe post the link as a reply in the current news post or at least explain why you’re posting a 26 year old article on a world news sub.

Ah, there it is. My skimming ain’t what it used to be. Stay in school, kids!

Article from 1997. Seems like OP is trying to push a narrative, but I guess the sidebar doesn’t say posts have to be current news.

Do what now?

I’ll tell ya what I’d do, man. Two chicks at the same time, man.
