      When I was in Korea teaching English, food everywhere (restaurants and grocery stores, as well as convenience stores) was a lot cheaper than in the US. At least in Daegu it was. But, I live in one of the cheapest states (Oklahoma) and Korea was still cheaper. That was in 2010, so maybe things have changed.

I got introduced to all these foods home cooked by one of the Academy's co-owners, a Korean lady, and it was phenomenal. Then came Korean fried chicken, being introduced to soju, and I was hooked.

    Wtf? You just completely forgot pork belly, or samgyeopsal? Unseasoned but the natural fat and meat of the pork belly naturally creates an incredible taste when grilled. It's literally one of if not the most popular meat in Korea. Cheap, easy to cook, does not need additional seasoning or marinating, cooks very quickly, and is delicious and flavorful.

      If it tastes sour then it's old. Sour kimchi is best fried or boiled in its own brine with sugar and beef stock. The only flavors you should be getting from fresh kimchi is garlic, salt, tiny bit of sweet, red pepper and the cabbage itself. It starts getting a little sour after about a week and by 2 or 3 weeks its ripe for cooking.

      Not necessarily by African-American personnels since South Koreans originally think of fried chicken as a popular American food in the 1950s-60s. First started by South Korean marketplaces around US military bases to fulfill that demand.
      We're talking about South Korea. It's better to have a less American point of view to understand Korean fried chicken.
