How U.S. Burgers Became a Status Symbol in Korea #shorts
Picture this. It's late June 2023 in Soul, South Korea.
It's 11:00 a.m. and you see hundreds of people lined up outside a building in Gangnam.
So, just out of curiosity, you walk to the front of the line to see what the hell is going on, and you realize that everyone is lining up for Five Guys, a burger.
Wait, what?
All these people are waiting for hours just to get a burger.
Sure, Five Guys is a very decent burger franchise in the US, but in South Korea,
that exact same burger has somehow been transformed into a kind of status symbol.
People line up for hours and they take selfies with their burgers to brag about the experience on Instagram.
And then you realize you saw the exact same level of buzz and crazy lines when Shake Shack arrived in South Korea back in 2016.
There are also ongoing rumors that In-N-Out Burger could be entering Korea in the near future.
It's like all of a sudden South Korea is seeing this invasion of burgers from the US.
But it's not like South Koreans have never tasted burgers.
So why now?
