# Diet-friendly sundae and pork jowl platter in Gangdong: Boseung - By Sumin J.

Dieting and skipping the soup broth, the writer ordered the 34,000-won sundae hangjeong-suyuk — pork jowl and sundae (Korean blood sausage) served in a shallow pool of broth — plus 2 bowls of rice, with kkakdugi (radish kimchi) and kimchi refilled on request. On a day when gukbap sounds good but a full bowl of broth feels heavy, the sundae hangjeong-suyuk at Boseung Hoegwan was the answer. ## Good to know - **Dish**: Sundae hangjeong-suyuk (pork jowl with blood sausage), 34,000 won - **Extra order**: 2 bowls of rice - **Hours**: Open 24 hours - **Location**: Right in front of the bus stop as you come out of Cheonho Station Exit 3 - **Side dishes**: No self-serve bar; kkakdugi and kimchi refilled on request - **Price reference**: ₩34,000 ≈ $24.5 (2026-09-19) *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ![A full spread of sundae hangjeong-suyuk at Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-01-1063c-1200.webp) My boyfriend's soul food is gukbap (Korean soup with rice). He loves it even more than beef. Why? Because he loves broth. He says that's the secret to his "chubby but healthy" figure... ![Close-up of sundae hangjeong-suyuk with shallow broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-02-1ysqy-900.webp) ## Dieting but craving gukbap: why sundae hangjeong-suyuk instead of soup I've been keeping my distance from gukbap lately because I'm on a diet. Other people say you can just fish out the solid bits and skip the broth without messing up your diet, but my boyfriend drinks every last drop. It's honestly amazing how all that broth fits in his stomach. So I'd been avoiding gukbap, until I heard Boseung Hoegwan has a sundae hangjeong-suyuk with just a shallow pool of broth — so my boyfriend and I went and ate it! ![Table setting of sundae hangjeong-suyuk at Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-03-gzgkq-900.webp) The weather's gotten chilly lately and I was really craving Korean food — specifically gukbap. Funny how the longer you diet, the more you crave it... ![Sundae hangjeong-suyuk with clear broth and boiled pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-04-1bv7y-900.webp) Gukbap means finishing the whole bowl of broth (right?), which could pack on the pounds, but sundae hangjeong-suyuk is basically suyuk (boiled pork) — it comes with clear broth, but way more meat. The broth is shallow, not red, and lightly seasoned — deep flavor through and through. So if you just eat the solids and skip chugging the broth, that's basically a diet meal, right?! We promised each other not to touch the broth, haha, and headed to Boseung Hoegwan, a well-known gukbap spot near Cheonho Station. ## Where is Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch, and is it open 24 hours? Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch is right in front of the bus stop as soon as you exit Cheonho Station Exit 3. Such a great location. ![Exterior of Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch in front of Exit 3](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-05-rmnkc-900.webp) Plus it's open 24 hours. In. Sane. ![Store entrance with a 24-hour operation sign](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-06-70844-900.webp) ![Spacious seating inside Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-07-1d2mc-900.webp) The interior is really spacious, so it's great for a final round of gukbap after drinking, or even while waiting for the first subway train. A real hidden gem near Cheonho Station. ![Table with the ordered sundae hangjeong-suyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-08-e72h4-900.webp) ## How much pork comes with the 34,000-won sundae hangjeong-suyuk? My boyfriend really wanted gukbap even while trying to diet, so I won him over with the sundae hangjeong-suyuk instead. ![A bowl generously filled with hangjeong-sal and sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-09-1wl6g-900.webp) ![Close-up of the pork neck meat in the sundae hangjeong-suyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-10-dcqyy-900.webp) There's even more suyuk than the photos suggest, haha. For ₩34,000, that's insane value. Once again, gukbap near Cheonho Station is the best!!! ![Basic side dishes including kkakdugi and kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-11-n8mpi-900.webp) ![Sundae hangjeong-suyuk broth with chives added](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-12-4gs5e-900.webp) ### Kkakdugi and kimchi refills brought to the table, no self-serve bar The kkakdugi and kimchi were both delicious. We dumped in the chives the moment they arrived. The kkakdugi and kimchi were so good we asked for a refill. There's no self-serve bar — you just ask and they bring it to you, which was a nice touch too. This kind of service at this price? Unreal!! ![Chopsticks picking up suyuk and sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-13-1wkyi-900.webp) ![A plate mixing hangjeong-sal and sundae](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-14-1qt67-900.webp) I really liked that you get a mix of both hangjeong-sal (pork neck) and sundae. And the portion is genuinely generous. Boseung Hoegwan — gukbap near Cheonho Station — remember that name! ![Vertical top-down photo of the sundae hangjeong-suyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-15-1ulyk-m-900.webp) ![Vertical photo showing the generous portion of suyuk](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-16-zhfsi-900.webp) ## Does a chain restaurant's broth taste good? Deep flavor, no gamey smell Usually with chains I don't expect much, but Boseung Hoegwan Cheonho Station Branch is genuinely good. First, the broth has a deep flavor that isn't harsh or overpowering. Not a hint of gamey taste — clean and mild. ![A free extra dish served by the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-17-13iej-900.webp) And they even gave us this as a free extra...? Total soju bait... I really wanted a shot but had a PT session booked... gotta go see my trainer... so I barely held off on the soju-and-beer mix. ![Broth and solids that pair perfectly with soju](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-18-1u0uf-900.webp) ![A ladle scooping up sundae hangjeong-suyuk broth](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-19-uwryh-900.webp) This is total soju pairing food, seriously >< My boyfriend saw the broth and couldn't resist scooping out a ladleful, haha. There's just no way not to eat this... ![Sundae hangjeong-suyuk eaten together with a bowl of rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk/cheonho-station-gukbap-sundae-hangjeong-suyuk-20-qddd1-900.webp) Honestly... we ordered two bowls of rice... there was just no holding back.
