I am obsessed with most things Korean. So these are some of the foods that I really want to try when on our huge trip to Europe and Asia in 2019. I was recently told after begging my parents for weeks to go to Korea or Japan that we would be able to go. I really wanted to go to Korea because of my recent obsession with K-pop and Kdramas. So here it is 10 foods and desserts I want to try when we want to go to South Korea.
