🧑🏻 Sir, there is Jimin's signature.
👩🏻 Where?
👩🏻 What did he eat?
Server: Kimchijeon, yukjeon (meat-jeon), saewoo jeon (shrimp-jeon), eoriguljeot
Panel 1: That restaurant is known as one of Jimin's favorite restaurants.
👩🏻 If we meet BTS, now we know how we can make Jiminie turn his head (or, how we can make him notice us), by saying ㅇ ㅇ eoriguljeot.
Jeon is a fritter in Korean cuisine made by seasoning whole, sliced or minced vegetables, meat, seafood, etc. and coating them with flour and egg wash before frying them in oil.
Below are kimchijeon, yukjeon and saewoo jeon.
Eoriguljeot (salted oyster with hot pepper) is made of oyster and hot gochujang sauce.
