Korean food prices have risen significantly, but foreign food prices seem to have risen less

‌
Even among Korean food, simple meal items
like Gimbap, Gukbap, Jajangmyeon, and Tteokbokki have seen massive price hikes.
On the other hand, BBQ restaurants, flatfish sashimi, and grilled eel seem to have risen less,
and chicken, pizza, Japanese, Southeast Asian, and pasta also seem to be on the lower side of price increases.
It feels like mid-to-high-end foods have risen less due to technological advancements.
Lower-end foods are rising a lot because labor costs make up a large portion relative to ingredient costs,
and high-end luxury foods also feel like they've risen significantly due to the massive wealth gap.
