A Unique Korean Experience with AREX: Mukbang Challenge


Hello
When going on a trip overseas, we often eat that country’s special foods. 
Further, even when we are unable to travel, we can enjoy various foods vicariously through Mukbang videos on YouTube.

Therefore, today I will introduce the unique Mukbang Experience Challenge that you can try out in Korea.


1. Pork Cutlet Mukbang Challenge! “Sindaebang OnJeong Tonkatsu”



OnJeong Tonkatsu is a famous pork cutlet shop sought out by many creators.



While the challenge menu features the “great king tonktsu” and “spicy tonkatsu,” 
if you can eat one within the 20 minutes allotted time, you will receive a prize.  
On top of that, if you can eat it all within just 5 minutes, you can eat as much as you would like for the next 6 months for free! 
If you fail, you must pay a 20,000 won penalty.




Also, if you would like to attempt the challenge, there are some things you must prepare.
 For the “great king tonkatsu” you’ll need some digestive aides, and for the spicy tonkatsu you’ll need 500mL of milk!

*You cannot attempt the challenge without these things prepared.

If you cannot eat spicy foods well, then I suggest you try the “great king tonkatsu!”

Location : Seoul Gwanak-gu Jowon-ro 60
Operating Hours : 10:30 ~ 20:30



2. Monster Jjajangmyun Mukbang Challenge! “Sinchon Junghwagajeong”

At Sinchon Junghwagajeong, you can try your hand at the “Monster Jjajangmyun” Mukbang Challenge!



Just from the name only, it seems like the portion size will be huge.
The price of the “Monster Jjajangmyun” is 17,000 won and the allotted time is 12 minutes!
If you successfully complete the challenge then the meal is free!

Before starting the challenge, preparations such as cutting the noodles or sprinkling pepper on top is allowed, and you may start after you have mixed up the noodles.

The Jumbo Ramen challenge refers to eating 4-people’s worth of ramen within 20 minutes! 



If you can do it, the meal is free! If not, you must pay a 20,000won penalty.
At Ramen 81 Beonok, after placing your order at the self-ordering machine,
