South Korea $1,000 Seafood Challenge!! Biggest Market in Korea!!

As a Korean local fixer for this tour, this day was really hard for many reason. hahaha But Sonny was real professional food youtuber, i learned a lot from Sonny this day. Hope you guys enjoy this a lot

I was diagnosed with cancer about 6 months ago. For a few months I couldn't eat solid food, at first for physical reason but it eventually turned in to a mental block. I stumbled across this channel and somehow Sonny's love of food has helped me overcome my mental block about eating. I can't explain it because I'm what Sonny would consider a very limited eater to begin with. Anyway, just wanted to thank you for unknowingly helping me through this struggle.

[@krnpowr]

I hope you're doing better!

[@melissadunton3534]

I’m so glad you found his videos and that they have helped you. There are a bunch of us that get the same benefits from Sonny’s content and his likability helps as well. Some food vloggers eat in a way that is not conducive to people who may have problems eating. He doesn’t make disgusting sounds like Mukbang people make and he doesn’t talk with a giant amount of chewed food in his mouth. He always puts his hand up a bit if he talks while eating. And I don’t think that other people realize how disconcerting it can be for some who have issues with eating and/or food, but still enjoy food videos. But yeah, there is an entire community of people who like Sonny because he makes the experience nice, he’s funny and very real. My personal issues with food are medically related as well. I have a severe digestive disorder as well as short bowel syndrome. So I went from a very plump 290lbs to 145lbs in just one year. My doctors said it was too much, too fast and were having problems keeping me healthy from malnutrition problems. I started watching Sonny’s videos and I got up to 155lbs and have maintained that for a little over a year now. I do hope that you are doing well, considering the circumstances. And I hope that you will respond well to whatever treatment path you take. Keep your head up and enjoy the small things. I have had cancer 3 times and now have been in remission for 11 years. 😊 These days it isn’t always a “death sentence” when you get a malignancy. So, focus on the positive and the good things…it will make all the difference in the world. Much love to you and your loved ones! ✌🏻💕😊

[@angelrobles1337]

Love your videos Sonny. I discovered your channel as I was hospitalized for almost a year. First they told me I'd die March 2022, and then in November they said I only had a few weeks left. I got a full liver transplant on December 7th 2022. I watched all of your videos while I was bedridden, and enjoyed them so much. Now, I can't wait until I'm fully recovered to visit some of the places you've visited. I don't think I'll go to Egypt though after your experience there 😂 Thank you Sonny! I'm glad you teamed up with your wife to film another entertaining episode!

Just once in my life, I wanna buy an entire King Crab and feast on it. It's pretty rare to find that in the US; at best, you'll find the legs, and they're pretty expensive.

[@ljp2]

Sonny! I'm so happy you're back in Korea. I found your channel during the pandemic when I looked up Korean food reviews and ever since then I've watched literally every single episode on both channels.

[@gmkbass]

Man.... I remember growing up as a little kid in Korea wayyyyy back in the day. We'd each grab a big bucket, go hit a muddy foreshore MILES long, and come back home with a bucket full of seafood. We mostly got clams and crabs, but on some lucky days, we even scored nakjis(smaller species of octopi). 3 hours spent under the Jeonra-do sun, you'd have the next 3 meals covered. And at night, we'd lie down on our lawn, looking up at the milky way. We would get eaten alive by mosquitoes, but we didn't have a care in the world. Boy, I just hit myself with a brick of nostalgia!

[@anthonyrussell1129]

Thank you for sharing. It sounds like a nice way to grow up.

[@gmkbass]

@@anthonyrussell1129 It was a different world, for sure. I very much appreciate all the technological advances allowing us to be entertained, to have convenience, and to order food all with our fingertips. But I'm also glad that I had the chance to be a child who would watch the sunset as the tides come in. Whenever I think back on those days, I can't help but romanticize all the nostalgia.

I miss Korea, Never got down to Busan but I will when I go back. I use to hang out in Osan or Seoul. The further north you are the cheaper the food... I've gotten meals that would be $30+ in America for $5, back then that was like 7,500W, Koreans are chefs regardless of what part you're in its just Tourist heavy areas or Japanese ran areas that are most expensive.

Part of the reason everything seemed a little more expensive than you expected was because you didn't haggle. That price they give is their starting point, locals will usually haggle the price down or get them to throw in some extra freebies! Easier to hit 1000$ though LOL

[@user-rs3nm3pf5l]

I warn you as a Korean, the Korean fish market can give you a bad experience. It's basic to charge a higher price on purpose. It's a little wiser to go with a local who is familiar with the fish market, or just go to a nearby seafood restaurant.

I have to say i am really surprised how cheap the seafood was here. I was expecting the prices to be insane. If I went to a place like this here in America the prices would be easily DOUBLE what he payed. Seafood in America is just so cost prohibitive. I love seafood so much I would eat it every day if it wasn't for the outrageous prices. So I settle for seafood once every month or two lol

Of course it’d be double, it would need to be transferred live.
