CULTURE NOTE

Lesson 19 Picture 1

In Korea, as income levels rise, the dining-out market and popularity of restaurants have grown. As a result, customer reviews significantly influence a restaurant’s success, leading to manipulative practices like paying for positive reviews or artificially creating long lines. (Source) According to the Korea Consumer Agency, 65.2% of customers on delivery apps wrote reviews for incentives, with 98.3% giving higher ratings due to these events. (Source) However, reviews also have positive aspects. A single warm review can save a struggling restaurant, and stories of kind owners can spark ‘돈쭐’ movements where customers boost sales to support them. Nowadays, campaigns for positive comments and award ceremonies for exemplary reviews are also emerging.

Lesson 19 Picture 2돈쭐을 내다 ‘Donjool(돈쭐)’ combines the Korean words for money(돈) and scolding(혼쭐). It means deliberately increasing sales at a socially impactful restaurant or store with a kind owner, so much that the owner is “scolded” for their success.
