Ask what Korea is talking about.

Seoul is seeing a new picnic craze along the Han River called "hoe-cnic" — a mix of "hoe" (raw fish) and picnic — that is replacing fried chicken as the go-to riverside food, according to the Korea Times. Separately, a food festival in central Seoul's Gwanghui-dong will offer tastes from five cultures, including Mongolian lamb ribs, Uzbek shashlik, and Russian Napoleon cake, on Saturday. Korean reactions are mixed: a famous TV personality's new pork cutlet restaurant in Seongsu-dong is drawing online attention with honest opening-day reviews, though some are critical.
