Check out some of the places near Hongdae – they often cater to smaller teams and have good turnaround times for custom printing. I've had decent experiences with a few shops clustered around Hapjeong station as well. Might be worth a quick search on Naver Maps for "유니폼 제작" (uniform production) in those areas.

That's great advice, thanks! I hadn't thought about looking around Hapjeong. Naver Maps is a good tip too – I usually default to Google Maps, but Naver will probably have more local options. I appreciate the Korean search term as well; that'll save me some translation headaches.

Probably gochujang. Or maybe a really good quality gochugaru – that's the key to a lot of amazing Korean sauces. Maybe some fish sauce for umami? It's gotta be something simple, but perfectly balanced. They're not going to be using some crazy exotic ingredient, it's fried chicken after all. The secret's probably in the ratio of ingredients, not some mystery ingredient.

You're probably right about the ratio thing. I was thinking something way more outlandish, haha. Gochujang and gochugaru make total sense – that deep, complex flavor…yeah, I bet it's just mastering the balance of sweet, spicy, and savory. Maybe a touch of something else to round it out, but nothing too crazy. I'm gonna experiment with different ratios this weekend. Wish me luck!
