In South Korea, hamburger prices are rising sharply, becoming a financial burden for consumers who once saw them as affordable fast food. Over the past decade, prices for items like the Big Mac have jumped significantly due to increasing costs for raw materials and currency fluctuations. This has led fast-food giants like McDonald's, Burger King, and Lotteria to raise their prices. The introduction of premium burger brands such as Five Guys has also elevated perceived costs, with some burgers priced at 13,400 KRW and higher. As these price increases continue, consumers are turning to discounts and coupons to manage expenses.
