It's clearly winter again and that means its time for street vendors to bust out the Bungeoppang, those yummy sweet pastries filled with traditionally red bean paste or choux cream and served wonderfully warm.
Karrot Market, aka Daangn Market (당근마켓) the second-hand selling/buying app has a dedicated section in it helping you locate your nearest seller.

Just open the app and tap the "Explore" tab at the bottom. Press the obvious fish pastry button and the map will populate with all the known locations. Some of this is user-generated content so you can submit places you know that are selling the delicacy, good for mom-and-pop type street food stalls. You can also notify if a location is gone or wrong.
This could be a good chance to try out what is the rage on Seoul's streets this winter: mint chocolate filled fishbread (민초 붕어빵). Apparently popularized in Japan but in Korea now.
