Just one more — at 2 a.m.
Tteokbokki (떡볶이) is chewy rice cake in a sweet, fiery gochujang sauce — and as a personality, it's the bold, addictive friend who turns a quick snack into a three-hour hangout.
It's you if…
- You suggest “one quick bite” and somehow it's midnight.
- You like your food, your music and your opinions a little too spicy.
- You know every cheap place within a ten-minute walk.
The surprise
