한국의 할랄 식당과 무슬림 프렌들리 지역 편집하기 (부분)

As Muslim tourists visiting Korea have increased, demand for halal food has grown, and accordingly, halal-certified restaurants and Muslim-friendly facilities are expanding. Halal refers to food permitted under Islamic law, requiring no use of pork or alcohol and meat slaughtered according to Islamic methods. In Seoul, the areas with the highest concentration of halal restaurants are Itaewon and Dongdaemun. The Usadan-ro area of Itaewon, known as the “Muslim Street,” hosts numerous halal restaurants serving Pakistani, Turkish, Indian, and Middle Eastern cuisines. This area also includes Seoul Central Masjid (Islamic mosque), where Muslims can perform prayers.

The Dongdaemun area is also frequently visited by Muslim tourists, offering restaurants where visitors can enjoy halal food alongside shopping. Recently, establishments serving Korean food in halal style have increased, with restaurants providing halal-certified bulgogi, bibimbap, and Korean-style chicken. The Halal Guys, famous in New York, has also entered the Korean market and gained popularity. Halal marts operate centered in the Itaewon and Dongdaemun areas, where Muslims can purchase necessary ingredients and processed foods.

Information provision for Muslim tourists is also active. The Muslim Pro app provides functions to find prayer times, Qibla (direction toward Mecca), nearby halal restaurants, and mosques, while the Korehalal Trip website offers information about halal restaurants and Muslim-friendly accommodations in Korea. The Korea Muslim Federation serves as the organization responsible for halal certification, supporting restaurants and food companies in obtaining halal certification. The Korea Tourism Organization also provides services guiding halal food information and prayer room locations to attract Muslim tourists. Although Korea’s halal infrastructure remains less developed compared to Middle Eastern or Southeast Asian countries, awareness of Muslim tourists has grown and related facilities and services are steadily expanding.
