Why I picked Insaengdwaeji Songpa Branch for late-night pork belly near Munjeong Station

Insaengdwaeji Songpa Branch (인생돼지 송파본점) is a pork belly restaurant on the B1 floor of Songpa Prugio City, right near Munjeong Station. I went on Friday, October 2, 2026, late at night, after my companion finished a workout training session. We were hungry and wanted a cozy date for two.

I'd been looking for a place where we could eat comfortably late and still get juicy meat, and that's how I found it. It's on the B1 floor, but the building is open to the sky above, so the space felt airy and not stuffy at all. The restaurant is already famous among meat lovers, so my expectations were really high before we even arrived.

As soon as we sat down, we decided to try the signature pork belly and happily placed our order. It's right by Munjeong Station, so it's easy to find, and the surroundings were pleasant. I walked in feeling good, and the cozy, friendly neighborhood vibe of Songpa made me look forward to dinner even more.
