The Opening Feast: Safe "K-Soul Food"

Scene: Huntrix eating Tteokbokki and Gimbap on the private jet in "K-Pop: Demon Hunters".

While the movie scene shows them enjoying these snacks on a private jet, you can find the authentic taste on the ground.

• Where to go: Sinjeon Tteokbokki (신전떡볶이).
• Why here: This is the #1 soul food for Korean students. If you want to experience the real taste that local teenagers love, this is it.
• Medical Tip: Warning: It can be very spicy! Order "Sunhan-mat" (Mild) and add Cheese. The cheese helps neutralize the spice. If you just had surgery, soak the fried fish cakes (Odeng-twigim) in the sauce instead of eating the chewy rice cakes to avoid jaw strain.
