Per serving, Kimchi Jjigae costs about the same in South Korea and Mexico. The single biggest driver of that gap is Pork belly, which is priced noticeably higher in South Korea — it accounts for roughly 100% of the total difference. The two markets land close enough that picking the right supermarket probably matters more than picking the country.
