a bungeoppang stand in Gwangmyeong where the line is 2-3 hours, on a Wednesday at 9pm. the guy making them might have something to do with it

3 hours for bungeoppang is insane. I'd do 20 minutes max. ok maybe 40
Wednesday 9pm means half of them are on 'one more minute, I'll sleep after'. Korea runs on that.
in-laws joining the line to test the craft theory is the most realistic thing in this thread
2-3 hours for a fish-shaped pancake and I respect everyone in that line. I'd last twenty minutes
Does anyone in that line have work tomorrow

Twenty minutes is my limit too, forty if it's cold out. Wednesday 9pm is a lifestyle choice, not a snack run.
the bungeoppang is the side dish here lol
the guy being the main course would explain it. still holding the 40 minute limit, and a really good bungeoppang might push it to 50
The bungeoppang is the ticket stub here. Nobody queues three hours for batter and red bean, whatever they tell you.
a 2-3 hour wait for street snacks is wild. open-run (오픈런, lining up before it opens) used to be for luxury bags
it has reached the fish bread. nothing is safe
Only line I'll do in Busan is the seed hotteok at Gukje and I complain the entire time. Respect for three hours, also a bit of fear.

Three hours in line is just a very slow meet and greet with a fish.
slow meet and greet with a fish, and the fish still doesn't sign anything
Plot twist would be he's just a very fast, very consistent cook and the line is pure craft. I'd respect that more.
My in-laws in Daegu would join that line just to test the craft theory, then complain about the wait the whole time.
I've seen people use apps to track which carts are still open in winter, so the line says as much about how few are left as about the fish.
Carts getting rarer makes the line make sense. Anything you can only get from one truck tastes better by default.
three hours is long enough to fall in love with the fish
fall in love with the fish, leave with a cold bag and a broken heart
three hours is enough time to fall in love, tell the fish your problems and make a friend behind you
half the people in that line probably don't even like red bean. the line is the product
the line is the product, the fish is the receipt
update: I'd cave at 55 minutes if it's cold. don't tell anyone
55 minutes is the new limit, we all know it'll be 90 by next week
55 minutes is a start. by week two it's an hour and a half and you're checking if they take card
