You can redeem it as soon as you show the voucher, which is so convenient. The photography is also good. Great value for money. The only downside is that there are so many people there on weekdays and you have to wait.

The five-spice pork trotters are satisfying. I must eat them every time I go to Seoul. It’s super delicious. It tastes very good and is juicy enough. It’s a must-eat👍👍👍👍

There was a lot of engagement with the audience. Quite a few lucky ladies had lap dances and even went up on stage. There's no nudity as the guys only stripped to their underwears, but they are very muscular and handsome. It was tastefully done.
