[Korean Food] Matjeil Duck Bulgogi & King Dumpling Lunchbox, 7-Eleven

March 21, 2026 by PAKOC

Hello. Today’s new Seven-Eleven lunchbox is the Matjeil Duck Bulgogi & King Dumplings Lunchbox. In December 2025, Seven-Eleven launched the “Matjeil” series with CJ as a promotion. Following the earlier Spam Arrabbiata, this time they introduced a more classic option. It pairs duck bulgogi with extra-large dumplings. Meanwhile, there have been almost no new convenience store lunchbox releases this December. Still, this one was quietly enjoyable with a solid flavor. So, let’s take a closer look at what’s inside.

[Korean Food] Jeongseong Hansang Lunchbox (Emart24)

March 1, 2026 by PAKOC

Hello. Today’s Emart24 new and controversial lunchbox menu I’m reviewing is the Special Meal “Sincere Full-Table Lunchbox,” released at the ruinous price of 26,000 won. It’s an app-exclusive item, and they say it can only be reserved and eaten through a limited sale of 1,000 units from February 19 to February 25. I picked mine up at the convenience store on the 25th and tried it right away. These days, plenty of places are scrambling because they can’t keep lunchboxes cheap, and even for a premium option, this feels a bit excessive. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu.

[Korean Food] Red Horse Kielbasa Set Meal (CU)

February 24, 2026 by PAKOC

Hello. Today’s new CU lunchbox item is the 2026 New Year release, the Red Horse Kielbasa Set Meal. To celebrate the Year of the Red Horse, CU has launched a variety of carrot-themed items such as triangle kimbap, kimbap rolls, and sandwiches. Among them, this product is a horse-themed release featuring a kielbasa sausage shaped to resemble a horse’s hoof. The lineup itself is simple, but the value for money is surprisingly solid. Let’s take a closer look at what it includes.

[Korean Food] King Dumpling Tteokguk, Assorted Jeon & Japchae GS25

February 15, 2026 by PAKOC

Hello. Today I’m introducing GS25’s new Lunar New Year items: Royal Dumpling Rice Cake Soup for Seollal, and two varieties—Assorted Jeon & Japchae. For the 2026 Seollal holiday, GS25 was the first among convenience store chains to roll out the widest range of offerings. GS25 has long released holiday lunch boxes, assorted jeon, and occasionally tteok-mandu-guk as well, so the lineup is generally quite solid. This time, you can also pre-order through the GS25 convenience store app, so you can place an order and eat it as needed. I pre-ordered this time and tried it right away. Shall we take a look at what these items are?

[Korean Food] Lunch Box of the Month: February Lunar New Year Special GS25

February 14, 2026 by PAKOC

Hello. Today I’m introducing GS25’s new lunchbox menu: the “Lunchbox of the Month” February Lunar New Year Special. Starting in 2026, they launched the Lunchbox of the Month series, and in January they released the Value-for-Money Edition. As I suspected, for February they’ve put out a light holiday-themed lunchbox. This one seems to have made a few small changes to the nine-compartment lunchbox set that GS25 has traditionally released for each holiday. The overall lineup was pretty solid. Let’s take a look at what’s inside.
