Busan is turning one of its most famous local dishes into a citywide competition with the launch of the inaugural 2026 Busan Dwaeji Gukbap Competition. <\/p>\n
The event will invite residents and visitors to help choose Busan\u2019s top pork soup restaurants through several rounds of recommendations and voting between August and October. <\/p>\n
Anyone can nominate a favorite restaurant through August 29 by commenting on related YouTube and Instagram posts or participating in offline surveys. <\/p>\n
From those recommendations, 20 restaurants will be selected. <\/p>\n
Representatives from the restaurants, food experts and pork soup enthusiasts will then take part in a \u201cGukbap Summit\u201d on September 19 to discuss the different styles and characteristics of Busan\u2019s signature dish. <\/p>\n
From September 28 through October 14, the public can vote for the Top 10 and ultimately the Top 3 by visiting participating restaurants or voting through KakaoMap. <\/p>\n
The competition concludes with a three-day Gukbap Showcase at BIFC2 from October 16 to 18, featuring food booths, cooking shows, and other programs. <\/p>\n
The three highest-ranked restaurants will be revealed during the Gukbap Awards on October 17. <\/p>\n
Busan hopes the event will encourage people to explore pork soup restaurants across the city while bringing more visitors to surrounding neighborhoods and local businesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dwaeji Gukbap (Photo by City of Busan\/courtesy of haps Magazine Korea) Busan is turning one of its most…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":132088,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2835,1599,67338,67339,14689,57643,67341,67342,15182,171,8972,67343,24323,67344,67340,2002,12386],"class_list":["post-132087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-korea","tag-awards","tag-busan","tag-busan-city","tag-busan-dwaeji-gukbap-competition","tag-competition","tag-dwaeji-gukbap","tag-food-competition","tag-gukbap","tag-instagram","tag-korean","tag-korean-cuisine","tag-korean-foods","tag-korean-restaurants","tag-korean-soup","tag-pork-soup","tag-social-media","tag-youtube"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132087\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
