    What the hell do you know about marketing? This guy is genuinely sweet, and he's got an interesting, quaint shop where he seems to be delighting tourists. Effective marketing is setting yourself apart from you're competition by providing something unique. I know this because it's what I do professionally. This guy is so innately good, he's done this unintentionally by sheer force of personality. In fact, he's so good at what he does, he just made it up the charts on Reddit.

    If you go to cultural tourism places, they sell them on the street as well (also malls and so on but It's better to get it on the spot)
    It literally melts in your mouth, because the honey is so thin and the mixtures of nuts and traditional sweet beans, sort of keep you away from being disgusted from the sugar flavor.
    You can eat a lottttttttt of street food in Korea at a cheap price

    no shit it is a practised choreography, but it is the attitude and the smiles they keep on their faces that earns their dollars (or won to be precise). In a land where formalities and politeness is a given, impressing anyone there with their repeated smiles and motions for hours and hours is not easy and should be appreciated.
