Bungeoppang The origin of bungeoppang can be found in Japan's 'taiyaki (鯛焼き)'. Taiyaki is a bread made in the shape of a fish called 'tai (鯛)' in Japan, and 'tai' means sea bream. Sea bream is considered a fish that symbolizes good luck and blessings in Japan, and for this reason, sea bream-shaped bread became popular. Japanese taiyaki was introduced to Korea in the 1930s. Sea bream-shaped bread was also made in Korea, but since bungeo was a more familiar and familiar fish in Korea, it was transformed into a bungeo shape. As a result, taiyaki took on a new name and shape in Korea, 'bungeoppang'. Bungeoppang became popular as a cheap and easy-to-make snack even during economic difficulties after the Korean War. Bungeoppang, which was easily available on the streets, was especially popular during the cold winter, and as the number of street vendors selling it increased, bungeoppang became a representative street food in Korea. Today, bungeoppang is known as a representative Korean street food not only in Korea but also abroad. Especially with the popularity of K-pop and K-dramas, interest in Korean food has increased, and bungeoppang is also gaining popularity among many foreigners. #History #Interesting story #Curious story #Winter #Snack #Bungeoppang #Representative Korean snack Source: Bing, Wikipedia, Voice, Subtitle, Vrew
