Korean BBQ in Seoul is easier to discuss when the menu terms are clear. Using Seolya Galbi Cheongdam’s published information, this guide looks at whisky does not use the wine allowance for a budget discussion.
Whisky does not use the wine allowance
Whisky corkage is listed at KRW 50,000 per bottle, separate from the wine policy. A mixed bottle list should therefore keep each beverage category visible. The first-wine allowance cannot be transferred automatically to a bottle of whisky.
If nobody is bringing whisky, do not add that charge to the dinner estimate merely because a guide mentions it. Ask about the bottle types the party actually plans to bring and any relevant handling conditions before finalizing the shared budget.
A budget discussion
A useful group budget keeps the chosen food units visible rather than copying one general per-person figure. Guests may want different cuts or finishing dishes. Drinks, brought-in bottles and any room condition can change the final amount independently of the listed beef price.
Calculate the actual selections and leave optional additions visible. The fact below supplies one part of the plan, not a guaranteed bill or a promise that a particular amount will meet every appetite.
