Dude, but I saw something kinda shocking
Deliciously
No seriously, ramen at... ramen is 4,000 won?? At GS25 even including the cost of boiling it deliciously, 4,000 won.. the Han River vibe markup is crazy [Still having happy ramen time 1 [Waiting a bit and boiling it] [The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it is] It's not 4,000 won, so how much do you think it should be? Like... 2,500 won?? I'm literally making it myself, unless you're eating at a PC bang... it's ramen though...? Give it to me. Isn't this less than 1,000 won? A pack of ramen? [Average around 1,000 won ~ 1,500 won] So I should charge 4,000 won? [Attempting to understand] You're not even giving water... [Understanding failed] I'm boiling it, I'm the one boiling it, why are we even talking about this? [The answer] As long as it's tasty that's enough
(Mesmerized)
Including the vibe for 4,000 won] That's right vs That's not right
Barley tea
From my perspective, it's not 4,000 won

Just walk a bit further and grab cup ramen from a convenience store for 1,000 won—same hot water, same chopsticks. But paying an extra 3,000 won for ramyeon? That's a tough pill to swallow.
So just go eat there then, no problem? But the thing is, most people at Han River *could* easily get cup ramen instead, yet they still buy this. That means there's *something* special about it, so why won't you admit that?
Real talk: the guy clearly has reasons for choosing this over other options but then downplays it and argues against the price—that's hypocritical.
I never said I didn't get it. Cup ramen is 1,000 won so yeah, 4,000 might feel pricey. But honestly, *your* comment is denying people who think it's expensive.
4,000 won?? that's like $3 usd and he's out here reviewing it like it's michelin star food i'm crying
Din Din used to get respect when he'd call out his friend's nonsense with actual education. But Chanyeol's just awkwardly copying that vibe without thinking twice about it, so people are turned off lol. Plus celebs flex money constantly these days, so complaining about a few hundred won feels petty.
Factor in machine depreciation—that's how business works. A standard 40% cost-of-goods ratio is already a steal. He's just clueless about how the world actually works.
But PC bangs aren't cheap either tho
Government-run places have self-serve ramen for 3,000 won, and that includes the price of the container. So pricing naturally falls in that range—his take is rough.
Is he going for the Din Din approach lol
ok but unironically hangang ramen hits different when you're broke at 2am, chanyeol doesn't understand the struggle
Ramen cost + bottled water = 2,000 won tops. You gotta account for equipment investment and overhead—if you think it's expensive, bring a thermos and eat cup ramen instead lmao
2,000 won? Seriously? Ramen costs like 700 won, water's basically free.
The guy really doesn't understand inflation at all.
A pot, a burner, water, bowls, and chopsticks—this guy carries all that around! lol
I remember Samyang ranch charging 5,000 for literally the same thing. Bubble gum pricing.
"That's the problem with these celebrity kids—no concept of money." Din Din faction remains undefeated lmaooo
Ramen, water, container, chopsticks—if his profit margin is already at 70%+ then yeah, it's overpriced.
4,000 won is actually right in the 30-40% cost-of-goods zone. The container's like 300-400 won, ramyeon runs 800-1,400. Then you factor in machine depreciation, rent, utilities—he's prob making 40% profit, maybe 50% if we're generous. That's not exactly price gouging.
LMAOOO not chanyeol being brutally honest about cheap ramen 💀 the man said what we were all thinking
If you look at actual costs, the price makes sense. There's upkeep and maintenance too.
wait i need to know what he said bc now im invested in his ramen opinions
chanyeol really said 'i'm gonna hurt this ramen's feelings on camera' and i'm here for it
the way he said it probably made it 10x funnier 😭 someone clip this i need context
