Arirang TV was kind enough to ask SeoulGrid to help film a piece about Soju in Korea. Obviously, we said yes. After about a day of filming and the producer having to put up with Mike Porto’s annoyingly gregarious personality, the following video was produced! Please enjoy. If you can’t enjoy it on the first view, trying viewing it again with soju in hand.

From the day I first set foot in Korea, whenever friends asked what I missed most about America, I had only one response: Mexican food. During my last visit to the States, I came to find I was not alone in this sentiment, as my smug Chipotle status updates on FaceBook were met with the jealousy and idle threats of my Seoul-bound peers.
Thus it’s understandable that last year’s rumors of a Taco Bell opening in Itaewon put Seoul’s ex-pat community into a frenzy of excitement. A mere cheap commodity taken for granted in other countries, until now it has been a sacred privilege exclusive to those with access to the army base in Korea. But fear not, my burrito-craving comrades, for as of last weekend it’s official: Taco Bell has arrived in Seoul.
