Late Night Munchies: South Korea Edition

DJ and club manager Sun Gin and club owner Mino head out for a night on the town, dining at local culinary gems that dot the streets of Busan until long in the afterhours. Mino and Sun Gin head Output, one of Busan’s biggest and most popular nightclubs that hosts DJs from all over the world. Entertaining international artists with delicious Korean food is a welcome part of their job description and this time VICE is along for the tour.
They start the night with comforting mouthfuls of pork gukbap in Seomyeon and pat-bingsu in xxx, before driving out to the Haeundae District for fresh steamed snails and a live barbecued spicy garlic octopus - all washed down with rice wine, bottles of soju and a night swim at the beach. That’s just the Busan way.

The food they eat while on a night out is healthier than my day to day meals smh

[@oaga71625e]

You should be embarrassed by that

[@Woozlewuzzleable]

@@oaga71625e No he shouldn't.

@@Woozlewuzzleable i mean at least he knows hes eating unhealthy food and accepts it lmaoo, so he doesnt care hes a fatass eating fatty fried foods

At 2:46 the subs are a little off.. he said, we don’t come here to only eat the stew, we eat food so we can drink soju

why does that guy hit the end of the soju bottle?

Not gonna lie, beans on ice does not sound that great

[@slee2695]

East Asians use a lot of red beans for dessert..they didn't eat very sweet things until the westerners came

[@dylantech]

They’re nothing like baked beans or black beans. They’re sweet red beans that are in a ton of desserts and snacks.

Vice is totally down with animal cruelty as long as its a POC doing it. Octopuses are most intelligent creatures too, hey lets chop their limbs off while they're still alive and also throw them on the grill also alive - Very cool Vice!

[@fnaticLoda]

have to agree but the octopus is dead before thrown on the grill. octopus legs can move up to an hour ater being cut off.

[@dankwon100]

Being alive takes resources away from other animals. I personally abstain from breathing to help nature.

[@NegativeBodhiImage]

@@dankwon100 I eat meat, I just dont endorse torturing animals, incl cooking shellfish alive, skinning animals alive ala some Muslims during Eid Mubarak, boiled dog, monkey brains etc. If you endorse torture of animals you might be in the sociopathic to psychopathic pipeline buddy. Thats fucking gross behaviour.

[@NegativeBodhiImage]

@@fnaticLoda didn't know that, but I just dont eat them because they're super intelligent unlike people who torture animals.

[@MMARLZ]

Shut up

[@dunnowy123]

I'm all for the return of Late Night Munchies. More and more from different cities around the world plz!

[@ICPFVCK]

they gotta do tel aviv

[@BamBamXVideos]

The fact that they went to like 3 or 4 different places to eat is everynight life of korea. When I visited, I was so shocked how many places we went to so we can eat and drink. It's crazy how i've kept going thinking I was going to get full. But no, all the food was light enough to eat plenty and the alcohol is fairly low content to drink all night. Loved south korea and cant wait to go back some day.

[@avp705]

As someone who lived in Busan for 4 years. I’m so happy they are giving the city its recognition that it deserves. Not only is Busan a beautiful city but the people are the most warm hearted individuals you would ever meet. So happy that I graduated from PNU

I was just there. Gorilla Brewing is ACE.

[@jayjyuri8796]

Idk about the people being nice I’d think they’re very cold and distant nothing like you’d see in a small town and honestly I prefer Japan for culture and the city but for a chef, you’d definitely wanna choose Korea and starting out in Busan

[@langtoronto]

@@jayjyuri8796 sound jealous to me of Korean culture...I bet you have never been to Busan.

I had met uhh young lady from this city 🌆 Busan yupp 👍🏿

[@Yoros009]

Looks amazing ! but Damn that live octopus part was horrible, I felt for the little guy.

[@jaldojanda848]

2:06 'buchu' is Garlic chive 2:25 that is 'Soondae'. Basically kind of Sausage of Korea. there are a lot version of 'Soondae' and that one is mainly filled with Pork Blood, Dang-myeon (Strach noodle), Glutinous rice, and veggies in pork intestine which is the most common version you can find. (I love that one too but personally I recommend the version more ground pork in it. they looks whiter and meaty so you can see the difference easily. they often called 'Gogi Soondae' which means 'Meat Soondae') cheap factory made version of soondae on the streets are not very impressive but if you go to good 'DwaeJi-Gookbob' place like that one, most of them make their own Soondae and has nice warm taste 2:33 I've been there many times over 15 years, I like that place too. but not the richest pork of Seo-myeon area to be honest. 10:20 no one eats 'San NakJi' like that 'Old boy' savage shit, it looks like he was too excited to be on the video so had to do some crazy shit for it lol. when you order it to eat it raw it is usually chopped off into small bites and served in sesame oil, that's too dangerous to eat like that cus as the Nakji still alive they can stick to your throat. so don't try at home. thanks for the great video! I love their Vibes

[@dumanski95]

in Poland we call Soondae "Kaszanka" same thing, i cant wait to try it Korean style

[@jaldojanda848]

​@@dumanski95 wow, I just googled Kaszanka and amazed about how it is accurate looks like with Korea's '피순대' means 'Blood Soondae' it's always surprise me as a cook that you always can find very similar traditional cuisine from very far country

[@Crabman_87]

My ex's parents had to hold the lid down on a octopus getting boiled alive about 8 years ago in Busan. I came close to my own littler mermaid horror story dinner at Boryeong mud festival but stuck to shell fish 😂

Looks like Spanish Morcilla, blood sausage, with rice. Very nice.

[@Danny-lv8lu]

my family is from Busan -- the memories! Thanks for showcasing, Munchies. I would correct the title to say "Busan, South Korea" addition, though. This is a very Busan-style experience, especially the pork and seafood focus.

[@ButtaButta90]

The vibe is dope and chill. Food looks amazing. Definitely need to go to Busan

[@kevincgrabb]

Just got back from a 3 day trip. 6th time visiting. It's awesome.

[@wherearewe-yt]

Eom Hyon-Yong definitely channeling his inner Oh Dae-su with that little octopus. 🐙 This makes me miss drunken nights with Korean friends back in Seoul! Wish I had got to spend more than a few days in Busan. It's a great city! Oh..and where's the hotteok?! Best I ever had was in Busan. 🤤

[@tomawen5916]

My parents (now passed) both lived in Seoul. They emigrated to the United States in the late 50's (dad) and mom in the early 60's (first Canada then to the U.S.). While they lived most of their lives in America, they would try to return to Korea every so often. My dad would always tell me how he took the train to Busan and was amazed at the nightlife in the city. He would go drinking and eat. This is such a great episode as it brings up those memories of my parents and how proud they would be on how many great restaurants dot all of South Korea. All good while drinking!

[@trianglecardcollectors6318]

Need a standalone series for South Korea..

[@ropro9817]

I love how in Korea, it's a 'culture of drinking' and not 'rampant alcoholism'. 🤣

[@dunnowy123]

Anywhere that has a culture of drinking has rampant alcoholism lol. South Korea has a huge problem with it, you really can't have one without the other 🤷

[@bronntoise]

Calling it a "culture" lessens the blow I suppose.

[@cheef825]

Lol there is definitely rampant alcoholism here

[@MY-rl8hu]

Ah only if you knew how it is behind the scene. There's a cultural problem of alcohol consumption in Korea.....In fact the number one spirit brand in the world is from Korea. Soju is cheaper than water lol

[@NamChin846]

10:22 that's the way to do it ;) just make sure you have that dipping sauce too cuz it adds a lot of flavour

[@wendyshoowaiching4161]

Teo Chew porridge best chinese supper. Light, non greasy and delicious.

[@bloempotten]

the way they treat the alive octopus is horrible and animal abuse. they're incredibly smart animals and feel like us. I really liked the video, untill i was reminded how asians treat animals. horrible and disgusting to see.

I understand it's a cultural thing, but the bit with the octopus is kind of hard to watch. They have complex nervous systems like us and watching it squirm after the leg was bitten off you can tell it felt all of that.
