Per serving, Classic Cheeseburger runs about 121% more expensive in South Korea than in United States. The single biggest driver of that gap is Beef chuck, which is priced noticeably higher in South Korea — it accounts for roughly 100% of the total difference. If price is all that matters to you, cook it in United States — the gap is too large to shrug off.
