- Cheese hotteok is a Korean street food inspired by the American corn dog, featuring a crispy fried outer layer and a satisfyingly oozing mozzarella cheese inside that is popular on social media. Myeongdong, renowned as a shopping district in Seoul, South Korea, is especially known for its diverse street food stalls, making it one of the must-try experiences for tourists to enjoy cheese hotteok there. However, if the frying temperature or time is not right, the cheese might not stretch perfectly. The author was captivated by the freshly fried, crunchy texture but seemed a bit dissatisfied with the cheese's stretchiness. It seemed like a post that could have gone viral, but in the end, it was only the stall owner who got a smile out of it and stood brightly alongside them. Instead of giving generic advice like studying photography, perhaps a career change to a street food critic would be more fitting.
