Meat prices in South Korea have reached a new high! Recently, Chinese students were accused of taking an extra slice of meat in a Korean university cafeteria
In May this year, a well-known barbecue restaurant on Jeju Island in South Korea broke a shocking news: 98% of their pork belly is fatty meat! Four unfortunate diners spent 150,000 won (about 800 yuan) for a so-called meat feast,
As a result, almost all of the meat that came up was fatty, and the average person could only eat 3 pieces of meat. When they approached the clerk for a theory, the clerk said confidently: "At this price, this amount of meat is too much." ”
Also in Busan, two diners ordered two servings of grilled black pork with pork belly and skin, but the meat that came up looked white and flowery, and the pork belly was not visible at all, and a total of 4 pieces of meat cost 30,000 won (equivalent to 160 yuan). When they complained, the clerk responded, "That's normal meat." ”
In June, Yonhap News Agency and Agence France-Presse reported in Japanese that ordinary South Koreans could no longer afford to eat meat. The price of a 200-gram serving of pork belly in Seoul has broken through the 20,000 won (about 105 yuan) mark for the first time.
If you want to enjoy this delicious food in a restaurant, the price will be more expensive. A serving of only 150 grams of pork belly usually costs between 1.7 and 18,000 won, which translates to 25,000 won (about 132 yuan) for 200 grams.
Nowadays, grilled pork belly is no longer a delicacy that ordinary people can easily enjoy. Even the prices of other traditional Korean delicacies such as cold noodles, jajanjangmyeon and ginseng chicken soup have skyrocketed.
In some restaurants in Seoul, the price of jajangmyeon has reached 7,223 won (about 38 yuan), the price of cold noodles is between 16,000 and 18,000 won (about 84 to 95 yuan), and the price of ginseng chicken soup is more than 20,000 won (more than 105 yuan).
Discussions about soaring meat prices in South Korea have become almost routine. Japan's views on this situation are also diverse. Some Japanese netizens joked that the price of meat in South Korea is so high that even they have to be discouraged, and some people joked: "It turns out that even eating meat when you go to South Korea to study has become a kind of knowledge." ”
It is said that a notice appeared in the cafeteria of a university in Seoul specifically pointing to Chinese students and criticizing them for "taking an extra slice of meat" in the buffet. The notice caused dissatisfaction among some people, who saw it as unfair treatment of Chinese students. The cafeteria explained that it was to prevent food waste and that some students could not finish eating too much.
Similar canteen notices in other parts of South Korea have also been exposed. At a university in Busan, a notice pointing to international students also appeared in the cafeteria, and the content was similar. This has confused and uneasy many international students.
Some netizens on the Internet ridiculed that Korean barbecue can already be included in the ranks of "luxury". He even joked about it, saying, "If you want to study in South Korea, you may need to budget a meat price fund." ”
This is an unfair treatment of our international students, and it also reflects the prejudice against Chinese students in some places. It is hoped that the relevant authorities in South Korea will face up to this problem, treat all international students equally, and adjust the policy to ensure that students in school can enjoy fair and reasonable treatment in the canteen.
