Why is eating barbecue a luxury in Korea, but Korean food in China is very close to the people?

Various elements popular in Korea have gradually flowed into the Chinese market, such as Korean cosmetics, clothing and Korean dramas, which have further entered the lives of the Chinese people. In addition to the increase in the number of Korean tourists traveling to China, South Korea has also received many Chinese travelers.

Probably in the Korean dramas that have entered the Chinese market, many fans can always see the actors in the dramas eating barbecue. Is this true in real life? After traveling to South Korea, friends discovered how big the gap is between reality and drama! Although there are indeed barbecue restaurants in Korea, and there are many people eating barbecue in the shops, they are mostly foreigners, not locals. Travelers want to know why? The travel friend asked the tour guide. The tour guide said that since barbecue is very expensive in Korea, barbecue is usually only done on New Year's Day, entertaining VIPs and company dinners. The family rarely goes to barbecue. Also, not only bulgogi, but Korean meat is also very expensive.

During the trip, the traveler met several Koreans again. Through communication, they learned that they both like pork belly very much, but rarely eat it. A Korean friend said that pork belly is one of the most expensive Korean foods because this meat is imported in large quantities and sold to customers. The price is naturally much higher. Also, chicken and mutton beef are even more so.

This makes the traveler feel incredible. He praised his Korean friends that in China, many people can basically eat meat. After listening to the direct calls from Korean friends, I really envy the Chinese and really want to live in China. We see in Korean dramas that Koreans love kimchi. This is real. For locals, kimchi is cheap and can be eaten with rice, so they usually buy up to dozens of kilograms of cabbage to make kimchi in winter. Eat until spring begins. Therefore, when many travelers travel to South Korea, they will find that South Korea is not as good as what they see in Korean dramas. Especially the infrastructure in some cities here is far away from China.
