Pork BBQ before the Gwangalli drone show: aged neck and belly, Jukrim

Jukrim Sutbul Dwaeji Gui (죽림숯불돼지구이) is a charcoal pork BBQ restaurant on Gwangnam-ro in Suyeong, Busan, near Geumnyeonsan Station and Gwangalli, where staff grill the meat for you. Before a weekend evening Gwangalli drone show, the blogger ate 2 servings of 4-week dry-aged pork belly and 3 servings of aged pork neck (14,000 won per serving), plus kimchi-mari guksu (noodles in cold kimchi broth, 7,000 won), and got a free kimchi stew for a receipt review. Jukrim Sutbul Dwaeji Gui is worth recommending to anyone in Gwangalli who wants the smoky flavor of Jirisan oak white charcoal, dedicated grilling and a quiet room.
