This time we’re heading out to Songjeong — a beach district at the far east end of Haeundae — for Baeknyeon Wang Dwaeji-gukbap (백년 왕 돼지국밥), the pork-soup spot NCT’s Park Jisung gushed about in a 2021 VLOG.
For context, dwaeji-gukbap (돼지국밥) is Busan’s signature dish: a milky pork-bone soup served boiling-hot with rice and shredded pork — comfort food in a bowl. Of all the dwaeji-gukbap bowls I’ve eaten in Busan, this one sits comfortably in my personal top 3. Read on for the full visit.
The Park Jisung VLOG (Hello Busan)
This is the dwaeji-gukbap shop NCT’s Park Jisung visited in his Hello Busan VLOG, released in June 2021.
The way he absolutely devours the bowl is half the reason we wanted to come check it ourselves.
The shop is directly in front of the Songjeong Station of Haeundae Blue Line Park (opened 2021).
Since Songjeong is well off the standard tourist track, it’s very much a locals’ favorite that foreign visitors almost never find — exactly the kind of place worth a detour.
There’s a self-order kiosk near the entrance — interesting twist: you punch in your table number first, then order.
We’d hoped to grab the same table in the back where Park Jisung sat…
…but a family had beaten us to it. Another time.
Even at 10:30 a.m. — an off-meal hour — the place was busy, which says everything about how locked-in this place is with locals.
순대국밥 / Sundae-gukbap: Korean blood sausage soup
섞어국밥 / Seokeo-gukbap: mixed (offal + sundae + pork)
얼큰국밥 / Eolkeun-gukbap: spicy version
★ Menu as of May 2026 ★
Time to order…
Park Jisung in the VLOG went with dwaeji-gukbap + a side of sundae (보기 순대).
That’s a lot of food for one, so I split the difference and ordered sundae-gukbap — which gives you both dwaeji-gukbap and sundae in one bowl.
Banchan (free side dishes) roll in — kimchi, salted shrimp, chili paste, scallions…
Quick local tip: in many Korean restaurants, spoons and chopsticks live in a drawer on the side of your table — not on the table itself. Reach down there before flagging a server.
And then — the main event arrives, bubbling violently in a stone bowl.
Rule #1 for a great dwaeji-gukbap: it has to land in front of you still actively boiling.
If a shop can’t be bothered to deliver it that hot, the rest of the bowl won’t be worth much either.
Chunky scallions and a truly generous portion of pork — you’re not getting short-changed.
Now the seasoning ritual — the part everyone forgets to mention.
Taste the broth plain first. Then add a spoon of dadaegi (다대기, spicy red-pepper paste) and a pinch of saeu-jeot (새우젓, salted fermented shrimp) to dial the bowl in to your own taste.
Dump the noodles and chives in while the bowl is still piping — done.
About the sundae — if you’ve never had it, the look can be a bit “wait, what?”
Honestly, I was put off by the appearance my first time too. You get used to it fast.
Sundae is a Korean-style blood sausage — pig intestine stuffed with glass noodles, pork blood, and seasonings. The dark color comes from the blood.
The sundae here is cleanly seasoned with no off-flavor at all — really good.
The dwaeji-gukbap itself is deep, savory pork richness through and through, with stupid-generous chunks of meat that absolutely fill you up.
The noodles add texture contrast that keeps every spoonful interesting all the way to the bottom of the bowl.
Park Jisung’s pick lived up to the hype — seriously, genuinely good.
Songjeong is a little out of the way, but it’s perfectly positioned right at the Songjeong terminus of Haeundae Blue Line Park — pair it with the Beach Train ride and you’ve got yourself an easy half-day. Highly recommend.
