    Dae-su recognizes the dumplings

    KOFIC’s location guide identifies Jangseonghyang as the restaurant where Dae-su finds the dumplings whose taste he remembers from captivity, turning an ordinary meal into a lead.

    Find the red-and-gold sign at 29 Daeyeong-ro 243beon-gil. Photograph the exterior, then order a meal if the restaurant is open.
