Luckily Passed by Seoul Plaza and Participated... I Will Definitely Recommend It to Friends

"It's my first time in Korea, but I've been interested in K-pop, baseball, and K-food for a long time. I happened to visit the K-Food Show and was able to participate in various events, so if it opens again next year, I will definitely recommend my friends to visit."

Nathan (31, right), an Australian tourist who visited the '2025 Seoul Food Distribution Fair (K-Food Show)' held at Seoul Plaza in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 29th, said, "I came to Korea for tourism for the first time yesterday," and added, "I happened to pass by Seoul Plaza today and was lucky enough to participate in the K-Food Show."

Kyle (27), a computer repair technician and Nathan's colleague, said, "I've always been interested in Korean singers like Blackpink and BTS, and now I have the opportunity to stay in Korea for three weeks."

In Nathan and Kyle's hands were various Korean snacks they 'scored' before the interview. When asked about his favorite K-food, Nathan said, "K-food is currently popular in Australia as well," and added, "I like chicken, and Korean chicken is juicier and crispier."

For Nathan and Kyle, who are visiting Korea for the first time, when explained about Korea's top three chickens: BBQ 'Golden Olive', bhc 'Puringkle', and Kyochon 'Honey Combo', they opened their smartphone notepad and repeatedly asked about the names and characteristics of the chicken. Nathan said, "I'm interested not only in Korean food but also in coffee, so I will try various foods like samgyeopsal, Korean snacks, and chicken."
