Ahead of the end of the year, such as Christmas, large hotels are putting out a variety of cakes one after another.
This year, as always, the price controversy is going on.
At a hotel in Sogong-dong, Seoul, this year's Christmas cakes range from 85,000 won to 140,000 won.
A hotel in Samseong-dong served a 200,000 won cake.
There is also a place that puts out a 180,000 won cake.
Hotel officials explain that there are no ingredients that have not been raised, such as flour, milk, and sugar, and that the price is inevitably expensive because it requires a lot of work.
The question is, is an expensive hotel cake worth that much?
Last year, some hotel cakes, unlike advertisements, were criticized by claiming that the real thing was terrible, which was posted on social media one after another.
Consumer reactions are also mixed.
There is an opinion saying, 'A normal bakery cake is over 50,000 won expensive, but isn't it possible to afford a luxury for me once a year?' are also coming out.
