On a rainy pool-pension trip, the writer picked up just over a geun of 2cm-thick pork belly, 1kg of 2cm pork neck and a pack of pork back ribs, plus shredded scallions for 500 won and garlic for 2,000 won, then cooked it all indoors on a pan. The thick pork neck came off the pan medium rare, juicy instead of dry, and the friends at the table raved about it. ## Good to know - **Location**: 23 Gangbyeon-ro 1F, Cheongpyeong-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do — on the way to pensions in Gapyeong, Cheongpyeong and Chuncheon - **Parking**: Brief roadside parking right in front of the butcher shop - **What was bought**: Just over a geun of 2cm-thick pork belly, 1kg of 2cm pork neck, one pack of pork back ribs - **Shredded scallions**: 500 won, sauce included - **Garlic**: 2,000 won per bag - **By day of the week**: Tuesday is pork butchering day (free pork skin and offal), Thursday is beef butchering day (yukhoe and sashimi on sale, free liver and tripe), Friday and Saturday bring big weekend discounts on pork belly and pork neck - **Delivery**: Available; free shipping on orders over 70,000 won - **Naver reservation orders**: Order ahead on Naver and get free lettuce, shredded scallions and salt-and-pepper sauce at pickup - **Price reference**: ₩70,000 ≈ $50.5 · ₩500 ≈ $0.4 · ₩2,000 ≈ $1.4 (2026-09-21) *as written by the visitor on Sep 4, 2026* Summer's tail end. Thanks to a friend who'd booked a pension with a pool, I'm finally getting my late-summer getaway. On the way there, I spotted a place to buy meat! > Ari Chuksan ## Ari Chuksan in Cheongpyeong: parking on the way to the pension Ari Chuksan is a butcher shop at 23 Gangbyeon-ro, Cheongpyeong-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, and you can park briefly right in front of it. Flashy from the entrance — even celebrities have apparently stopped by a butcher shop. But the location really is right on the road to pensions in Gapyeong, Cheongpyeong and Chuncheon. There's even a beef-butchering day (Thursday), and they do their own bone removal on site. ![Interior of Ari Chuksan butcher shop showing the hanwoo bone-removal work area](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-01-nemsm-m-900.webp) They say they do their own hanwoo (Korean beef) auction buying and bone removal, and the spacious work area looks like more than just a place that sells meat — it feels professional. Must be popular, because customers kept coming and going while we picked out our meat. We got there a bit past lunch and the display case was already looking pretty picked over. ### Ari Chuksan's butchering days and weekend sales Tuesday is pig-butchering day, with free pork skin and other offal; Thursday is beef-butchering day, when they sell yukhoe (raw beef) and sashimi and give away liver and tripe for free; Friday and Saturday bring weekend blowout sales on pork belly, pork neck and more. ![Daily sales signage and the meat display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-02-b4c5n-834.webp) ## Buying 2cm pork belly, 1kg pork neck and back ribs At Ari Chuksan they had pork belly already sliced 2cm thick, so I bought just over a geun, ![Pork belly sliced 2cm thick on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-03-394hs-900.webp) and since there wasn't any pre-cut thick pork neck, I ordered 1kg at 2cm thickness and they sliced the raw meat fresh on the spot. Even while we waited, customers who looked like locals kept coming through. ![Raw pork neck freshly sliced 2cm thick on the spot](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-04-18sbu-m-900.webp) I grabbed a pack of pork back ribs too. Delivery is also available — apparently people who drove by on the way to a pension and loved the meat end up ordering from other regions too. Free shipping on orders over ₩70,000! They throw in plenty of sauces for free too. They also have seasoned meats — gochujang jeyuk (spicy pork), soy-marinated bulgogi, beef bulgogi, LA galbi, seasoned pork barbecue, and even pork cutlets, all homemade apparently. ![Refrigerated case of homemade seasoned meats](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-05-1lny1-900.webp) ![Varieties of seasoned meat including gochujang pork and soy bulgogi](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-06-b317h-900.webp) And the other cuts of meat. ![Assorted cuts of meat in Ari Chuksan's display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-07-ju3zw-900.webp) ![Beef packaged by cut on display](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-08-1a7gf-900.webp) ![Packs of meat in the refrigerated display case](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-09-1kqit-900.webp) ![Various meat products on the butcher shop shelves](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-10-1epc6-900.webp) ## One stop for everything a pension barbecue needs There's a whole range of other things you'd need at a pension too. ![Shelf of foods needed for a pension barbecue](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-11-1og7y-900.webp) ![Store corner displaying barbecue side ingredients](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-12-18l69-900.webp) They even had hanwoo bone broth base, haha. ![Refrigerated section with hanwoo bone broth base](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-13-pnyny-900.webp) Vegetables and more, each one labeled carefully with its origin. ![Vegetable display with origin labels](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-14-1nfr6-900.webp) ![Lettuce, peppers and perilla leaves for wrapping meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-15-1plrq-900.webp) ### Shredded scallions 500 won, garlic 2,000 won and Naver order perks I bought scallions with sauce for ₩500 and a bag of garlic for ₩2,000. Lettuce, peppers, mushrooms, perilla leaves and more were also cheaper than the mart. If you reserve ahead on Naver and pick up, you get free lettuce, scallions and salt-pepper sauce — they gave us a generous bag of king oyster mushrooms plus sesame sauce and seasoning too. Oho~~~! ![Scallions, garlic, and complimentary king oyster mushrooms and sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-16-1h0bc-900.webp) ![Free seasoning and sesame sauce given as a gift](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-17-3e2yg-m-900.webp) ## Pork neck and back ribs pan-grilled indoors on a rainy day As soon as we got to the pension, my friend sprinkled the free seasoning generously over the meat from Ari Chuksan. The raw meat was so fresh~ ![Raw meat sprinkled with seasoning, ready to prep](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-18-igqcp-900.webp) ![Seasoned pork belly and pork neck at the pension](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-19-7nbnh-1200.webp) The back ribs~~ They gave us so much seasoning that we dumped it all on generously~ ![Pork back ribs generously covered in seasoning](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-20-ujbpd-900.webp) Wow~~~ I don't usually like pork neck, but it was so juicy and delicious. I forgot to take photos and just ate like crazy, only remembering to snap a shot once we started grilling the pork belly. This pan is huge, but the meat is so big it makes the pan look small, haha. Even the huge king oyster mushrooms looked tiny, like oyster mushrooms, haha. ![A large pan filled with thick pork belly and king oyster mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-21-tn6ah-900.webp) ![2cm-thick meat grilling on an indoor pan](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-22-h0vob-900.webp) Even the garlic cloves, which were huge, looked mini by comparison. We'd planned to barbecue outdoors and sliced everything 2cm thick, but it rained, so we grilled it indoors on a pan instead. Maybe because the meat was so good, even the thick cuts grilled up nicely, and even grilled without much care, the juices stayed locked in and it tasted great. Since it was raw meat, I ate the pork neck medium rare, and my friends absolutely raved about it. I usually like my meat grilled crispy, and I was surprised that even grilled that way it wasn't dry at all and still tasted great. Ah... imagine how good it would've been over charcoal! Ordering delivery straight to the pension address seems like a solid option too. ![Cross-section of grilled pork neck with garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-23-16ahk-900.webp) Did we buy too much, though? Haha. Four of us ate until we were stuffed and there was still leftover, haha. Oh! Now that I think about it, when we grilled the pork belly, barely any grease came out. Just goes to show~~~! ![Plate of grilled meat leftover even after four people ate their fill](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork-24-1tj22-900.webp) ## Where it is - Ari Chuksan (아리축산) - 23 Gangbyeon-ro, Cheongpyeong-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 가평군 청평면 강변로 23 1층 - 37.7346503, 127.4150823 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%95%84%EB%A6%AC%EC%B6%95%EC%82%B0/@37.7346503,127.4150823,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@ilsan-mall-loop/cheongpyeong-butcher-rainy-pan-grilled-pork/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
