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.

      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.

    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.

    6:02 "In the 1970s and 80s, the economy of Korea wasn't so hot"?????
    The 70s and 80s was when Korea was experiencing its economic BOOM, with international relations improving at a record rate.
    The reason why so many Koreans immigrated to the US was not because they were poor in Korea, it was because it was the first time they could afford to move out in search of various opportunities!
    International travel for non-business purposes was only allowed in 1983 (and partially, at that, until 1989)! So of course you'd see a lot of people traveling then. It was a novel experience to be in a foreign country, and the first time the average Korean could realistically afford it.

      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.
