Is there anywhere in Korea to get these yummy meat-like snacks? I have already looked at the Ilsan Costco, to no luck. Any other ideas? Thanks for any help.

Have you tried Hannam market or any of the black market shops in Itaewon?

There will be a shortage of Slim Jims this summer due to a plant explosion at a beef jerky factory... Not a joke. Shocked

OK, Hannam was a no go. Any other chances of getting help? Customs will not let me have them shipped from the US. Beef jerky is NOT the same! Please help, thanks!

I know that the red door store in Itaewon carries Jack Links beef jerky on a fairly regular basis. There's a shot they may have your Slim Jims. The only other place I can think of now is I Love Cookie (There's one in Bundang near Jeongja station and I think there's one near Noksopyong station).

Climber159, thank you for your recommendations. I'll check there this weekend.

Two decent black market stores in Itaewon I am aware of are:

1. Red door store - Go out exit 3 of Itaewon station and make a U-turn so you're in front of Cold Stone. Walk down the street so you're walking away from Hamilton Hotel (you'll pass a Family Mart on your left. Keep walking for about 3-5 minutes. You'll see a yellow sign. The red door store is a non-descript place with newspaper covering most of the window.

2. Call Market - In fish alley behind KB bank and Starbucks of Itaewon.

When the ingrediants read "mechanically seperated chicken" I stay away, you should too.
