Popular Food Menu Item Descriptions

Jjajangmyeon is a popular Korean-Chinese noodle dish topped with a thick black bean sauce made from chunjang (fermented soybean paste), diced pork, and vegetables.

Tangsuyuk is a sweet and sour deep-fried pork (or beef) dish, often served with a tangy sauce containing vegetables and fruit. They’re commonly enjoyed together as a classic combo meal in Korea.

Bulgogi is a classic Korean dish made of thinly sliced beef marinated in a savory-sweet sauce typically made from soy sauce, garlic, sugar, sesame oil, and pear or apple for added sweetness and tenderness.

Ddeokgalbi (or Tteokgalbi) is a traditional Korean dish made from minced beef or pork, seasoned and shaped into patties, then grilled. The name means “rice cake ribs” because the patties are soft and chewy like rice cakes (tteok) and were originally made from meat taken off the bone of short ribs (galbi). It’s flavorful, tender, and often served with rice and side dishes—popular in both home-style and royal Korean cuisine.

Dwaeji Galbi refers to Korean-style pork ribs. The ribs are typically marinated in a sweet and savory sauce made with ingredients like soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, sugar, and pear, then grilled or barbecued.

Dak Galbi is a popular Korean dish made from diced chicken marinated in a spicy and savory sauce, often including gochujang (Korean red chili paste), garlic, soy sauce, and sweeteners like sugar or honey. The marinated chicken is stir-fried with vegetables like cabbage, sweet potatoes, and rice cakes (tteok) on a hot grill or in a pan. It’s known for its bold flavors and is often enjoyed as a communal dish, served with rice or noodles.

Kalguksu is a Korean noodle soup made with hand-cut wheat noodles, typically served in a rich, savory broth made from chicken, beef, or anchovy stock, and often accompanied by vegetables like zucchini, onions, and garlic.

Mandu refers to Korean dumplings that are usually filled with a mixture of ground meat (like pork or beef), vegetables, and sometimes tofu. They can be steamed, boiled, or fried and are often served as a side dish or snack. Together, Kalguksu + Mandu is a comforting combination where the hearty noodle soup is complemented by the delicious dumplings, making for a satisfying and complete meal.

5. Should I bring my uniform and belt?

Answer: Absolutely, as we will be training at the Taekwondowon. Please consult the itinerary to decide if you wish to bring multiple uniforms or if one is sufficient.

6. Should I bring my sparring gear?

Answer: No, sparring gear is not required for this trip.

7. Can I book my own ticket or use travel points?

Answer: Since this is a group trip, all participants must depart and arrive at the same time from the designated departure city. Therefore, we are not allowing participants to book their own tickets. Additionally, individual travel points cannot be used to purchase group airfare. Whether points can be earned for your travel will depend on your rewards program.

8. What costs are not included in the trip fee?

Answer: The trip fee does not include:

Answer:

A deposit of $895 is required by February 28, 2025 (refundable until this date).

Payments are structured as follows:

$895 deposit due by February 28, 2025.

$2,000 second installment due by March 16, 2025.

$2,000 final installment due by April 16, 2025.

Payments made after March 15, 2025, are non-refundable. If the trip is canceled due to reasons beyond the participant’s control (e.g., war, natural disasters), deposits will be refunded.

Breakfast is typically provided at the hotel, while lunch and dinner are arranged at local restaurants. Specific daily schedules can be found in the itinerary.

12. What happens if there are changes to the itinerary?

Answer: The itinerary is subject to change based on local conditions, weather, or unforeseen circumstances. The organizers will make every effort to notify participants of significant changes and arrange alternative activities when possible.

14. Who should I contact if I have additional questions?

Answer: For any questions not cover in the FAQ or on the trip webpage, contact admin@mdtkd.org.

15. What is the baggage allowance?

Answer: We will be following the international baggage allowance not the domestic baggage allowance for the airline we are traveling with.

16. Do I need an adapter to use electronic devices?

Answer: Do I need an adapter to use electronic devices?

Answer: Yes. When traveling from the US to South Korea, you will need:

A power adapter compatible with “Type A/B to Type C/E/F”.

A voltage converter if your devices require a different voltage.

Check that your charger says 100-240V.

Some USB-powered devices can use a universal USB wall adapter.

17. I have a food allergy, is this trip for me?

Answer: If you have a severe food allergy like nuts or celiac, please know all we can do is communicate your allergy to the tour company. This does not guarantee you will be accommodated as there is a language barrier and restaurant restrictions. For example, some restaurants only serve the regions specialty and don’t have the ability to accommodate. This trip would only be appropriate if you are willing to provide your own back up food and are understanding if your allergy is not accommodated.

18. What is the fitness expectation for this trip?

Answer: This trip includes TKD Training so if you want to maximize the experience, you will need to be in good enough shape to participate in the training sessions (unless you are a chaperone). In addition, there is a lot of walking and lots of hills in Korea so you should be able to be at a fitness level to hang with a group walking for extended periods of time.

Here is document that covers proper etiquette when traveling with Seniors and Masters as well as dining in Korea etiquette. Please read this prior to traveling.

Messages from 2025 Korea Trip Participants to future participants:

If you’re serious about taekwondo or even if you’re just considering going to support a family member, absolutely go. It’s a beautiful place and the kukkiwon and taekwondowon are the places where practitioners of taekwondo metaphorically go home to. It’s where the spirit of taekwondo meets the art of life. -2025 Participant

It was awesome definitely worth going and will be a fun experience to tell people that you have trained in Korea.-2025 Participant

You should go, if you can. It was a wonderful experience. – 2025 Participant

It’s the best experience and you will make unforgettable memories with people you don’t get to see everyday! Don’t let the thought of training in Korea intimidate you, it’s nothing but helpful and an amazing opportunity for growth. -2025 Participant

Definitely one of the best experiences I have had in my life so far ! -2025 Participant
