Freshly fried croquette-like radish pancakes are made by frying only thinly sliced ​​radish in a thick batter.
It is famous among Koreans as ‘Muhotteok’.
They serve it fresh out of the oven, so it's delicious while it's hot, and it's still delicious when it cools down.
There are so many customers that you will definitely have to wait in line, but don't worry, the food comes out quickly so you won't have to wait long.

It is famous as the filming location for the music video for the girl group New Jeans' song "How Sweet" and the Taiwanese drama "The Year of the Sheep."
Every sight is unique, from the five buildings surrounding the circular rotary, to the uniquely designed sky bridge connecting the buildings, to the elevated road that crosses the center of the rotary.
The round structure, which I have never seen before, is unfamiliar, but this space, which has an old and lived-in feel, looks similar to an old Korean apartment.
If you walk around every nook and cranny and take pictures, the results will have a local feel and vintage flavor thanks to the atmosphere of the space.
