(1)”How much is it?” “Two is 1,000 won.”
(2)On December 27 last year, citizens who were going to and from Suwon Station in Paldal-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do stopped in front of a street stall selling bungeoppang one by one, and Kang Han-joo 26, who was baking bungeoppang, also got faster.
(3)Recently, as bungeoppang, a representative winter snack, has become popular among people in their 20s and 30s, an application app that informs stalls selling bungeoppang has appeared. It is also attractive that many young people start their own businesses after watching videos such as the successful start-up of bungeo-ppang on YouTube, which costs relatively little initial capital and facilities.
(4)However, according to the Dong-A Ilbo’s report, many of those who started bungeo-ppang businesses did not make a profit properly.
(5)● There are a lot of customers, but I’m crying over the price.

(1)The Dong-A Ilbo reporter watched Kang’s day-long business in the fish-shaped bun business.
(2)Kang sold about 150 fish buns for 11 hours from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Customers continued to visit, but due to the low unit price, only 75,000 won was earned from working full-time for half a day, he complained, “Except for 35,000 won in material prices and gas costs, it is practically a deficit.”
(3)The reason why I can’t make money is that the cost of ingredients such as flour and red beans has increased significantly recently. Kim Seo-woo, 24, who has been in the fish-shaped bun business since December last year in Gyeyang-gu, Incheon, sighed, “I worked all week fighting the cold, but when I looked at it, the minimum wage per hour was not even available.” Han, 25, who recently closed his business after selling bungeoppang at a street store since December 2021, complained, “There were many days when I didn’t earn even 30,000 won a day.” According to the Korea Price Association on the 10th, flour rose 419 won to 5,490 won based on 3kg due to soaring international wheat prices. The average price of imported red beans doubled from 3,000 won per 800 grams five years ago, and fuel costs such as liquefied petroleum gas and LPG also rose significantly due to soaring global energy prices.

(1)Since it’s a winter snack, you have to endure the cold wave. In Dong-gu, Daegu.
(2)”Kim Hae-eun, 25, who opened a fish-shaped bun stall two months ago and recently closed, said, “I was young and had good physical strength, but I couldn’t hold out because I worked physically for more than 10 hours every day in the cold wave.”
(3)I often get reported by nearby merchants.
(4)Since it is a street business, it is not easy to settle down, and even if it is difficult to settle down, there are many cases where nearby merchants ask for a seat tax.
(5)Under the current law, all buildings and facilities that have been licensed to occupy and use roads are illegal, so those caught doing business without obtaining permission from local governments will be fined up to 5 million won.
(6)Mr. A, 31, who started the fish-shaped bun business in Gangdong-gu, Seoul in December last year, said, “I was reported to the district office by a merchant while doing business on a street with a large floating population. I don’t have much money left from selling fish-shaped buns, but I’m paying 200,000 won in rent to eat mustard.”
(7)Kim Seo-woo also said, “I sold my feet for a few days before starting the business and asked if I could do business in front of the store, but everyone was not happy. Even though I settled in a place with poor commercial rights, I pay 100,000 won every month to a nearby merchant for rent.”
