I thought Korea meant Subway 🥪

Korea Means Subway

On YouTube or something, I heard "There are so many Subways in Seoul! Subway is very popular!" and I had an image that Korea means Subway.

So I went.

Tasted The Same

The taste was not very different from Japan.

But just eating it in Korea made me a little excited.

Number Nine

Later, when I asked AI, Korea was number 9 in the world for the number of Subway shops.

It was more normal than I thought.

Plot Twist

Here is one piece of Subway trivia I heard from AI.

About 10 years ago, Japan had about 480 Subway shops, and Korea had about 100.

Now Korea has over 600, and Japan has about 230.

About 10 years ago
100🇰🇷 Korea
Now
600+🇰🇷 Korea

Before anyone noticed, they had switched places.
