This series is legit the greatest showcase of Korean cuisine for a Western audience of all time. These are unique experiences that most non-Koreans would never even conceive of. We should all feel lucky to enjoy it. Thank you Mark! And also the Korean Tourism Board for curating such a great trip

I agree that wherever Mr. Wiens goes he becomes an ambassador for the cuisine of that country, and showcases the good...sometimes comments complain that he never says anything bad, but I once saw him questioned about that and his response was that he was not interested in putting people down...if its bad he just won't show it. He and his team are one of the two best food Vloggers on KZread. That said, and in direct reference to your comment, I wonder if you've ever watched www.youtube.com/@koreanenglishman . If you have, fair enough, but if you haven't and you respect those who showcase Korean cuisine (and culture), then I've done a good thing, and you're in for a treat...well several months of a treat!!

That’s interesting because I don’t think Mark Wiens particularly likes Korean food all that much except for Korean BBQ and a few noteworthy dishes he LOVES like Galchi Jorim (see Marks videos from his big Korea trip- Jeonju videos 6 years ago)….in those old videos Mark is more realistic and honest imo..not many foods wow’d him. He might have palate preferences but at least he was honest and not so “commercial” …Mark doesn’t like overly salty foods and wow Koreans have a heavy hand with the salt…he also seriously dislikes sweet savory foods like a sweet gochujang casserole..anyways I prefer old Mark better.

@@krislv9219Thing is none of the Korean food he tried here is particularly known to be salty or sweet-savory. There's so many different flavors and ppl seem to misunderstand Korean food bc of the types of foods that got famous overseas. Also, idk why ppl like you feel the need to hear some form of negative critique when it won't matter whether he's genuine or not at the end of the day lmao. Is he your bluetooth tastebud that'll make you decide on what you'll try when you visit other countries?

Every tourist to Korea should try just like him. He is the best

Busan is really one of the world's top seafood destinations. Came back from a 2-week vacation there about 4 months ago and still missing that beautiful city dearly. I can eat every single seafood offering in Korea EXCEPT sea pineapples. Those really throw me off. 😅 Also, one of the best times to go is also during Korea's oyster season. They're cheap, huge, fresh, clean and absolutely tasty.

Sea cucumber, sea pineapple, sea squirt, and etc.. they do have distinctive flavor. You do have to get used to it for sure... not that I can eat it either lol I tried and I do understand why people eat them besides the health benefit.

That Busan seafood market feast was a steal. Yes, Koreans don't waste any part. The intestine fried rice at the end was worth waiting for. Love how you drank the water from the water kimchi at the end.

Love the humble, passionate way Mark presents the food and culture before him. So genuine and respectful.

The fact that we get free food&travel videos from Mark on KZread is priceless; keeping the knowledge and entertainment alive. 👍👍👍

곱창 (Small Intestines) is one of my favorite food in the world. It is something quite unique and every couple of month I have to have it with a bottle of Soju and 2-3 friends. Food is such a great part of living in Korea:)

I think Mark's new permanent residence will be in South Korea 🤣 I'm a seafood NUT and this looks like heaven to me. We had a place with live tanks like this when I as a child growing up in South Louisiana. It was like a live aquarium to me as a child but we would eat what we chose from the tanks just like this place! You could also always find live shrimp, crabs and oysters straight off the boats. I live in the midwest now (Denver) and really miss the fresh seafood more than anything else.

How Korean food does not have limits. From root vegetables to land meat to seafood to fermentation knowledge. When it comes to Korean food, do not be deceived by the look and smell because you will regret immediately. Oddly finding yourself growing into it.👍👍🤣🤣

That first stop you made - all that for under $68?That is amazing I can’t even imagine how much that would cost in the USA. And fresh.

I love this channel so much. I learn food from all over and it’s amazing

One of the best episodes ever thank you mark

South Korean street food is diverse and unique, ranging from spicy tteokbokki and enticing odeng to crispy kimchi pancakes. Street food in South Korea often carries traditional flavors, providing a distinctive culinary experience for those who indulge in it.

I noticed with Korean food there seems to be an art of cooking, how things are cooked delivers certain flavors. But this seems true for other types of Asian cuisines too?

Mark said “oh a 🌶️ “ chomped it all up!!! ❤

Loved the food commentary Mark. The places you visit are spectacular, and authentic, thank you for sharing these amazing places 👏🤩❤

@18:06 I loved the wry smile when you said "Wow." As if to say I've got him right where I want him.

Oh, Busan! We only stayed 2 days, but it was NOT ENOUGH TIME. I am itching to go back and eat all of the things.

Been a while since I've been to South Korea. Hope to visit it again soon. Thanks for the good seafood recommendations

Thank you Mark for sharing such delightful seafood meal. I like your videos,You are an inspiration,I will like visit other countries and expirence their culture ,its amazing to see and also show to other people on my channel. Thanks and God bless for the inspirations.

One of the best things about Korean restaurants is that they all have that 'middle working class people' vibe which makes others feeling comfortable and enjoyable.

Thank you Mark, I enjoyed the food with you.

Thank you for taking us along ❤

Keep going mark you are so humble

Great video Mark

Thank you Mark for sharing such delightful seafood meal. I think Korea's seafood industry needs support such as yours to show how fresh and tasteful Korean seafood are due to ongoing market downturn against seafood. 🐟🍲

Just added Busan to my itinerary while watching! Your videos inspire me to explore places I wouldn’t have otherwise considered going. Thanks for broadening our horizon!

Two of those sardines everyday big boost b12 n omega 3..love this..yum yum.

Everything is SOOO good. He eats so fast!! No time to express his thoughts

Sea hotdog... Yeah Mark, thats what we were all thinking... Haha

This looks simply outstanding!!

Hello Boss, all food look delicious and yummy ❤❤❤, thank you for sharing the video ❤

Fun fact. Sometimes a whole garlic can be spicier then a bird eyes chili 😂 except you didn't see it comming.

I am always here for some street food…my favorites

Wow the food looks delicious 🤤

i enjoyed this video from korea in particular…congratulations, mark! you have scratched the surface of endless korean flavors and flavor combinations-keep going deeper!

There are only two areas of the city that I know of that has anything close to this. It is either downtown in our Strip District. ( parking is impossible) Or places like Squirrel Hill or any number of east Pittsburgh neighborhoods in proximity to the University of Pittsburgh.

As always the best videos from the best KZreadr👍🏼

I am your big fan .nice vlog delicious food💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Mark is probably the coolest homeless person ever

Looks delicious Mark! I love fish cooked and I also like sushi. It's would want to do the happy dance if I had all that fish in front of me!

Lol...Mark wearing that bib👌🏾

Ah man just discovered this channel! I'm in Andorra currently and I haven't discovered the local food yet! That's bad. I make videos whilst traveling the world but don't do any local food reviews! Great idea

The food looks Delicious!!!

I see that you planned this time to go various around Korea cities. Perfect! Every spot you are visiting is right choice!. One thing I notice in Busan is that it is so pity that you have missed '돼지국밥' or '순대국밥'. Actually, Busan is well known for these two broth with rice. I am so excited to see you for the next local area! I can see it naturally from your face^^

Busan market gives me the vibe of african market with a lot of shop and people. Love it!❤❤

Hi Mark... Were off to Ao Nang in January...Any recommendations for traditional,off the beaten track thai food ? Cheers Guy..love the vlogs..👍👌

You ate only the foods you must eat in Busan. It's also the best. ❤❤❤

There is no way your able to eat all that in one sitting your left overs must be amazing

Mark : it looks like sea hotdog Sonny: it is like a p*nis Iykyk 😂😂

I would do anything to be in Busan and eat that food right now. I mean anything.

Mark has a knack for finding the right descriptive words at the moment the flavor hits his palate.

now im craving for naengmyeon even though im hours away from anywhere that sells it TT
