Yasik

'Yasik' is a term of South Korea's midnight snack culture.

Korea's top yasik favorites include: ramyeon(라면), typically eaten with kimchi, chicken and beer(chimaek, 치킨, 맥주), jokbal and bossam(족발, 보쌈), tteokbokki and sundae (떡볶이, 순대), gungoguma(roasted sweet potatoes) and hoppang(군고구마, 호빵).[1] Kimbap and jokbal is also popular. Past favorites, now less popular, include memilmuk (buckwheat jelly) and chapssaltteok(rice cakes filled with sweet beans).[1]

Fried chicken, first introduced in Korea in the 1980s, and pizza also top the list of night-time favorites. Fried chicken, in particular, has become a wide market, with chicken restaurant chains continually developing new sauces and wooing various Hallyu stars to promote their respective brands. Of course, no late-night chicken order would be complete without a cool pitcher of draft beer.[1]
