Chinese Restaurant That Went Bankrupt Selling Jajangmyeon for 1,000 Won

[00:00] and fried chicken is reaching the price of jokbal. Even iced Americano prices have gone up now. And they say that a bowl of jajangmyeon is still only 2,000 won.

[00:15] I hear rumors that it's still sold for only 2,000 won. Jajangmyeon is sold for 2,000 won, jjamppong for 4,000 won, Hey, you came here last year, right?

[00:30] It's unbelievable that jajangmyeon only costs 2,000 won in this place. they end up ordering other items too. With jajangmyeon priced at 2,000 won, is there any profit in that?

[00:46] To be perfectly honest, with just one jajangmyeon, there is no profit. It's really amazing that you're still keeping the same price as 30 years ago.

[01:03] The sound of gas burners? Can I ask you something? put you at a bit of a loss?

[01:15] About two or three times? When you're somewhere like Yopgi Tteokbokki or a Chinese restaurant, If jajangmyeon is 2,000 won and yellow radish costs 500 won,

[01:32] prices do rise over time, am I right? Wow, thank you so much! You can use everything that's there.

[01:45] With this side dish alone, that's already 500 won gone. Sprinkling red chili powder, that's another 50 won. Now I'm wondering if there's actually any profit left for the jajangmyeon.

[02:00] a bowl of jajangmyeon can cost up to 2,700 won. Prices may have risen, but the portion size hasn't changed. It even feels like there's even more now. Wow!

[02:13] But it's almost embarrassing to ask for scissors 'cause it's so affordable. [Exceptional price: 2,000-won jajangmyeon.]

[02:28] As you go around, But even with at 5,000-won, But look at the that portions they offer in this place.

[02:44] Let's take some yellow radish... God bless this place.

[02:58] Alright, now let's try the onion. How much is the jjamppong here anyway?

[03:14] Even at PC cafes, when you order ramyeon, Just one jjamppong, please. Thank you. [Exceptional price: 4,000-won jjamppong.]

[03:34] Oh, wow, how is this even real? Wow! Is this even real? I think I should order the next dish in advance to go with this.

[03:50] That's right. Thanks a lot. Look at that. but I can't hold back.

[04:03] There's so much goddamn onion in here! But everything... they could end up falling apart.

[04:18] But so far, every mussel I've eaten has been full. They’re all intact. Chinese food is something that every Korean enjoys, right?

[04:31] I mean, this looks so good that it can't possibly taste bad.

[04:57] I'd have mixed rice in this. Let me prepare the sauce. First, add soy sauce.

[05:10] And then, lots of chili powder. This tangsuyuk is 6,000 won, Jajangmyeon for 2,000, jjamppong for 4,000,

[05:23] For the price of a single bowl of naengmyeon, These days, fried chicken costs 24,000. And it's perfect for a family outing.

[05:36] This is almost like the prices that you'd see in old documentaries. Ah! [Generously packed tangsuyuk at a great price.]

[05:48] I mean, you can see just how packed it is with meat, can't you? If all the Chinese restaurants in Korea sold tangsuyuk at this price, And I'm serious about that. I'm not kidding. Mm!

[06:07] Because it's meat, after all. So, it's a higher tier than just noodles.

[06:19] BokyemTV. So in 2025, will your jjajangmyeon dish remain priced at only 2,000 won? If you're greedy for money, then you cannot run a business.

[06:32] I'm not lacking for anything, so I'll just keep it simple. I mean, that was the price from before I was even born. That'll be 12,000 won.

[06:46] -Please take the cash. -But why are you giving us so much money? for keeping the very same price from 40 years ago. But I really don't want to take it.

[07:00] So please just take it. keep half of it for yourself. just add a little extra.

[07:14] I couldn't get glasses 'cause I didn't have the money. -and I was able to get these glasses. -Right. -You remind me of my mom. -Yeah.

[07:26] And if someone says they came after watching BokyemTV, I'm going to get going now. just called me.

[07:38] So while the money I gave her is being used, Exactly how thankful should we be for 1,000-won jajangmyeon? Normally, for us to be able to enjoy jajangmyeon at home,

[07:54] That takes effort and it costs, doesn't it? You use water and gas, which costs money. And then you eat radish or kimchi.

[08:07] They way I see it, they're not making any real profit from their business. Then please order some other dishes along with it, And I hope you pay the place a visit.

[08:21] Wherever they are, it doesn't matter. and I'll go try 'em out myself, But until then, adios!

[08:48] [KOR Bokyem Kim.] [You can see the same stack of money here, right?]
