Koreans love meat so much so that it was even written in ancient Chinese history books that “Koreans enjoy grilling meat.“At one point in the Joseon Dynasty, Koreans were eating so much meat that there were not enough cows around to work the fields, and it became prohibited to kill cows used for farming. Traditionally, meat was and still is soaked in a sweet soy sauce-based marinade before grilling, but since the 1980’s, lightly salted grilled beef has also become quite popular.
