What the creator captured
Danny Kim explored the viral street food of Gwangjang Market, where he was most impressed by the 70-cent twisted cinnamon donuts. Despite trying legendary mung bean pancakes and intricate honey string candy, he crowned the hot and chewy quappeki as the market's 'king.' He then moved on to Tongin Market to participate in their unique traditional brass coin lunchbox system.
