Mayhem in Pork Alley: The Fugitive Korean Octopus 🇰🇷

■ Seoul, South Korea: I am a huge fan of exotic, weird and strange culinary delights. On a day to day basis I eat the same stuff over and over again, but when in lands where you can eat something strange and unique, I am all for it.
One of the weirder meals I've come across here in Seoul is live Octopus. Obviously this was something I had to sample. But there's a lot of exotic dishes that doesn't come from the sea in this city.
Cow intestines and bull heart. Pork ear and calf rectums. This was the night where we truly amde an effort to sample it all!

You guys honestly could have your own series just bar hopping and meeting interesting people in Korea. This is outstanding, relatable content. I did the same thing in Seoul in 2019 with friends and you guys really captured the spirit of the experience. Hope to see more of you all in the future.

[@petercross6960]

anyone coming to this channel for the first time might think it was scripted, that's how good it was. spontaneous stuff, so many highlights. what a cast. pork innards lady, drunk patron, gay octopus chopper, and of course the 3-amigos. what's not to like

[@svenred4487]

This video was amazing Harald, definitely in my top 3 that you've created. Great chemistry between you 3, and all hilarious. Andy and Jay are top blokes! Hope you can film with them again some time 👍

[@glyyz]

This video is a gem. Never thought I'd watch a one & half hour video on KZbin but somehow I did & I'm thankful to you for posting this.

[@pissiole5654]

1.5 hrs is nothing. clearly you have a life

[@pfever]

1:14:24 kind of weird for foreigners but in Korea 30 mins before closing the place is normally the last order and staff starts starts to clean and prepare to close, so most costumers do not enter a restaurant/bar 30 mins before it closes to not bother the staff.

[@themillennialangler]

As an Asian American and a big fan of your videos, I have to say this upload was indeed lit AF. more uploads like this one harald!

I could watch 3 hours more of these 3. They are hilarious together

[@RowRowRowYaBoat]

This really encapsulated the experience of seoul when 3 random dudes get together drink, eat and laugh cause absolute carnage.. I love it!! People need more experiences like this in life this brought back fond memories for me being in seoul and my times traveling Its what life's all about good times and great memories. Happy new year Guys!!

[@antonioisaias8741]

Hands down one of my favorite episodes ever, how I wish I was there hanging with those guys. Whenever I ran out of these I repeat some of them while we get new ones, so DEFINITELY going back to this one!

[@sunnyx213]

The blue soju is also my favorite! Anytime you’re at a Korean spot and want it. They asked for “it’s back soju” it was the original design way back in the day and the design came back around 2020. Hence the name “it’s back”

[@Tsenngu]

Once again Harald...you exceed any expectation for a vlog...this was a fantastic episode with two very cool guys. Godt nyttår til deg og håper 2024 blir fantastisk.

[@netstormuk]

Holy shit!! The collab!! Cooksux is so funny, would love to see more collabs like this in the future, Twitch irl streamers are great.

[@jaystreazy]

Harald, next time I expect you to take down the whole octopus.

[@TheFinCola]

Im from Finland and we are a bit alcoholists here so i really liked this😂 Exploring, goofing off, eating food, drinkinng and just having an awesome time!! Thank you Harald!!😄

[@pinguinsudpol5120]

I have seen you on the ferry to Tallinn to fill up the fridge, bro.

[@Marisolita_95]

I'm half Finnish, though I don't speak the language, but I know that Finns are not alcoholics. The average consumption of alcohol is below the EU average, you can check this online if you like. Finnish "alcoholism" is more of an urban legend. In fact, consumption has decreased considerably year after year, and best of all, young people, teens if you like, are not interested in drinking these days. More alcohol is consumed in such countries as France, Germany, England, Poland, Denmark... and perhaps even Norway. You shouldn't share false information about your own people. Anyways, Happy New Year to you - ¡Feliz Año Nuevo a ti y a todos los finlandeses! Te amo Finlandia! 💜🇫🇮

[@ThatGuy-sc5rx]

Dude Andy is hilarious 😂 i like his energy.. Jays a cool cat too. Im going to be honest i never really considered South Korea as a place id want to go to specifically as im not a big nightlife guy and enjoy nature more than anything. But im a huge foodie and the food and city looks really amazing. The Korean people seem super friendly and laidback. I can see why South Korea is so loved by westerners. I see its true Koreans sure can drink !

[@haewymetal]

Korea has plenty of nature you muppet

[@GrizzlyBoyz416]

Cap

[@tara1206]

South Korea was never really high on my bucket list destinations either but I decided to tag along with my mum (who is a big SK fan) last October as a last minute spontaneous decision and went without expectations or any knowledge of the country and it was amazing! I definitely recommend it! The food is delicious too.. Korean BBQ is to die for!

[@kevinpogosian9844]

I have NEVER watched a 1.5 hour video on KZbin. This was IT! You guys have great chemistry!

[@pestr999]

Even after drinking as much Soju as you consumed, I don't think I could try live octopus. You're a very daring man. This has been a very entertaining episode .

[@codeblocks4067]

They didn't try live octopus though?

[@pestr999]

​@@codeblocks4067 "Octopuses' sucker-covered arms can act as if they contain partly independent mini brains. Each arm gathers sensory information to drive its own movements-and even those of other arms-without consulting major brain regions." -Scientific American. That counts as living even if it's not connected to the main body

[@2m7b5]

The alive part isn't as scary as the sticking in my throat and killing me part.

What a great video, the chemistry is incredible. I cant express how much fun this was to watch.

[@michelprins]

there was no chemistry even the oportuinty to talk to the man in the restaurant was blantenly missed why didnt you invite him to the table and ask him about life in korea? u were just just sitting there not interacting with him at all that so called korean american didnt speak a word of korean next time better use google ai to translate this was a farce and then the animal cruelty he pushed balder to do just discusting will he bring him to a dog eating restaurant next and give a puppy the same treatment as this octopus??
