Jeju Shilla Hotel raised prices on several signature F&B items amid rising demand for staycations and higher ingredient and labor costs. Popular poolside dishes like the “Abalone–Korean beef chadol jjamppong” and fried chicken were increased by roughly 17–20%; the room-service abalone–beef jjamppong now costs about 72,000 KRW (≈ 70,000 KRW in headline). The jjamppong combines premium ingredients — abalone, seafood, and Korean beef (hanwoo) chadol (thinly sliced brisket) — and is praised on social media for its rich, non-spicy broth and generous portions. The hotel says key ingredients rose nearly 50% in three years and room service faces higher labor costs; the dish also requires a 15–20 minute cook time and may have longer waits during peak season.
