The thickness of fat in samgyeopsal has been long debated, even prompting government intervention in 2024.
SEOUL – Samgyeopsal, the pork belly cut popular in Korean barbecue restaurants, has become a sizzling issue for some diners who complain that they are being served with excessively fatty slices.
However, the dispute over the level of fat in samgyeopsal has not gone away. On the same website on May 1, another user posted a photo of fat-laden samgyeopsal which was supposedly provided at a restaurant in Daegu. The staff allegedly said the meat was a “delicious cut”. The controversy prompted a response from Governor Oh Young-hun of the island province of Jeju, renowned for its black pork cuts.
However, recognising the difficulties in regulating private businesses, Mr Oh also called for consideration of “differences among local food cultures”.
