Bungeoppang is a street food that comes to mind when the cold wind blows like this.
But I can't find it even if I look for a bag on the street.
Did the store disappear or maybe I can't find it? Where on earth did the bungeoppang on the street go?The bungeoppang that disappeared on the street
wasn't just my mood.
In fact, many street stalls are closed.
According to the National Statistical Office, the total number of employed people in the "communications and door-to-door and street sales business," which includes bungeoppang, baked sweet potatoes, and hotteok stalls, has decreased by 25,000 in four years.
The reason why the stalls are closed is because of high prices as well.
In many cases, the cost of materials has risen significantly compared to previous years, so labor costs cannot be saved.
Imported red beans, which are the main ingredients for fish-shaped buns, rose 10% from previous years, flour rose 5%, and cooking oil rose 6%.
On top of that, the price of LPG, the fuel for baking bungeoppang, is also likely to rise next month.
As a result, the price of fish-shaped buns has risen, and now the word '金붕어빵' has come out.
There are still a lot of people looking for bungeoppang even at a burdensome price.
Therefore, recently, an application that tells you where street foods such as bungeoppang and baked sweet potatoes are sold has also appeared and is gaining popularity.
Like a map app, it tells you the location and distance of bungeoppang, but due to the nature of the street stalls that often move, it also shows only places with records of business until recently.
As it becomes difficult to obtain fish-shaped buns, the words 'Bungeo-ppang Station Area' and 'Bungse Area' are becoming popular.
These days, the restaurant industry, such as cafes, is also emerging as a new base for bungeoppang by selling bungeoppang.
On a chilly day, eating fish-shaped buns while blowing on the street.
The street landscape is also changing due to the high water price.
