| Pop-up restaurants finally make their way to Seoul Posted: 19 Sep 2012 03:20 PM PDT In recent years, the ever-changing Seoul restaurant landscape has seen more foreign food enter the formerly homogeneous Korean culinary scene -- and the latest international import may bring more opportunities than ever. Pop-up restaurants are finally pushing their way into Seoul, and it's no wonder, in a city that thrives on quick-changing trends, social media sites and well -- food.
