The Seoul Metropolitan Government, the Jongno District Office and Gwangjang Market in Seoul are set to address concerns over merchants overcharging customers by introducing a system to specify the required quantity of food along with its price.
The city government is discussing the implementation of a method to mark the weight or quantity next to the menu item prices, possibly accompanied by a sample model that represents the typical portion size for the market's signature dishes.
The issue of overcharging in Gwangjang Market came to the fore in November when a KZreadr, renowned for his global travel content, posted a video about visiting the market with two Vietnamese friends.
