To my great exasperation, I'm the "in the know" person among those who know me and I was asked about curry from South Korea specifically.

Conversation went something like this:

Them: I want to eat South Korean curry

Me: Ok we could try making it at home, are you sure you don't just want curry, why South Korean curry specifically?

Them: No it has to be South Korean curry and it has to be from a Korean restaurant.

Me: Ok...

Anyway this is a person who never even had Korean food before afaik so I'm very confused but I look into it and the closest place to me is $20 for their curry. I was only trying to maybe order a plate and see what it's like cause I don't want them to eat it and later be like "eh I don't like it" especially if it's $20 but fam that's twice what I would ordinarily be willing to pay for premade food. However it's my birthday soon so I figure I could ask someone to treat me so I can get this bread. Or curry. Anyone have experience with Korean food, specifically curry?

When I think of Korean food it isn't curry. I'll save that for Indian.

That's what I said too. But they wouldn't listen, it HAS to be Korean curry, don't ask me why, I don't understand their logic.

I live in Korea. No clue wtf is going on here. All the curry you find here is either Japanese or Indian. Sometimes Thai. I know Korea will go HAM with tonkatsu, but that's different. While often eaten with curry, here in Korea it's a different kind of dish

I think this is quite cheap to buy ,so you might enjoy to eat this if you give it try.

Yeah, even in South Korea. Exchange rate or not, nobody is paying anywhere close to that for "Korean Curry"

Just did a search and this is the closest thing I could find to "Korean Curry" here in Korea

And this is all cheap af. 19,000 won is their most expensive price and that's only like 15 USD if that. I guess what makes it Korean is the seafood? And other vegetables you don't particularly see in Indian or Japanese curries?
