I'm getting slightly bored waiting for the poll to conclude so in the meanwhile, I'm just gonna list down the food in the movie for funsy.
Besides the iconic ramyun, there were:
Specifically 마약김밥 or Mayak-gimbap for the uncut roll (notice the vegetables sticking out), and the cut gimbap might be spam or ham gimbap? Since there's a red part there that resembles meat more than vegetables.
(For those who don't know: Sushi and gimbap are different in that sushi uses raw fish, while all the ingredients in gimbap are cooked and vegetables (carrots, danmuji, perilla leaves, etc.) are the common toppings though there are gimbap that have meat products like cheese, tuna, roe, etc.)
Eomuk Tang translate to Fishcake (어묵/Eomuk) Soup (탕/Tang) because fishcake is slowly cooked in anchovy broth (which I would recommend to drink, it's very good especially on cold winter days).
I was just about to say that hotteok (호떡) is kind of like pancakes, but now that I think about it, it's much closer to doriyaki. Being a pancake-like sweet with a sweet filling. In hotteok's case, it's usually filled with brown sugar, honey, cinnamon and nuts (I think peanuts or walnuts), but nowadays, there's a variety of trendy flavors now.
순대 or Sundae or Soondae is sausage made from pig's blood, rice, vegetables and spices stuffed in pig or cow intestine (cleaned, don't worry) before being steamed.
As of today, 물 냉면 or mul naengmyeon is a summer dish, because it's a noodle soup served cold, so it's very refreshing to eat when it's hot outside.
The stereotypical loaf there reminds me of salt bread (소금빵) which was trendy for some time in Korea. As for the round brown balls, I think I read an article speculating that it's boiled eggs, but I personally think they're cream ppang (크림빵) :3
Banchan are small plates of side dishes that help add or enhance the main dish or help the eater cleanse their pallet after eating. 7 is bap or cooked rice, 8 is eomuk bokkeum or stir fried fishcake, 9 was hard to see because it's at the edge of the screen, but I think it resembles oi sobagi or kind of like cucumber kimchi, and 10 was also hard to guess because it's very blurry, but from the reddish color and cube shape, it's probably kkadugi or diced radish kimchi.
This was even harder to figure out since this is the only shot we had of this bowl, but from what little I can see from the top of the rim, I think it might be galbitang ( 갈비탕) or beef short rib soup. But I'm unsure so...
shrimp chips. just shrimp chips.
The hangul on zoey's chips literally just says "Potato chip" (감자/Gamja - Potato; 칩/Chip). Fun fact: if yoo look very closely, the chip is ketchup flavored :D
13 - Milk tea. that's literally it.
14 - is a can of juice! it resembles Haiti's Podo Bong Bong which is grape juice with real grape pieces!
But you know what's amusing?
The food they grabbed the most were:
Gimbap (Rumi grabbed the cut rolls once then proceed to demolish the uncut roll by herself; Mira grab some cut gimbap twice; Zoey took twice as well)
Hotteok (All the girls grabbed some hotteok each)
Zoey grabbed some soondae twice.
Zoey tore into two bags of chips.
Mira grabbed a skewer of eomuk.
Rumi and Zoey each grabbed one cream ppang.
You know what a majority of these (except the ppang) all have in common? They're all street food. So now, I'm having an image in my head about the girls sneaking out at night during their trainee days for some food, and they just bounce from pojangmacha to pojangmacha (street food carts) trying as much as their allowance can buy them and they did iit so many times that they learn to recognize things like – this halmeoni makes the biggest gimbap for cheap; that imonim there has the best broth to pair with eomuk kkochi; the harabeoji in the corner makes hotteok that aren't too sweet; that sajangnim really knows how to make his soondae. Maybe they even get friendly with one imo who jokingly ask them about them what they're doing up so late, and the girls shyly tell her they were craving some food, and the imo hums and asks how they're doing in high school, they hesitantly tell her that they're trainees, and the imo is so awed and encourage them to eat more, that they look too thin, and they should eat as much as they can, idols are always going on diets and all that, joking that she'll cover for them if their daepyonim ever asks, giving them a "Fighting!" to cheer them on, etc.
