If you’re in Korea for an extended period of time, you will undoubtedly end up drinking some of these Korean alcohols. These Korean drinks can get you drunk pretty quickly, and if you wake up with a pounding headache, you’ll need something to get you back on your feet. Good thing you’re in Korea. Many Korean foods (mostly soups) are natural hangover cures. There’s a wide range of foods to eat after a night of drinking in Korea, and most of these can be found at your local neighborhood restaurant or even on your hotel room service menu.
Haejangguk (해장국) – Pork-based Korean soup
Tip1: Potato Soup (gamjatang / 감자탕) is usually sold wherever hyejangguk is sold. The broth is essentially the same, and it’ll have the same effect.
Tip2: As the word haejangguk (해장국) literally means “hangover soup,” there’s a plethora of Korean soups called haejangguk (해장국), all designed to cure your hangover.
Gomtang/Galbitang (곰탕/갈비탕) – Beef-based Korean soup
These two soups are popular Korean hangover cures because of their protein-rich broths. On top of that, there’s slices of beef (gomtang / 곰탕) or beef right off the bone (galbitang / 갈비탕) to help fill you up. It’s so good you’ll forget what you’re grandmother taught you about manners; if you’re hungover and hurting, you’ll find yourself slurping every last drop of soup.Tip1: Seolleongtang (설렁탕) must be noted for it’s hangover curing properties. The milky broth has a certain heartiness that can’t be compared.
Tip2: Yukgaejang (육개장) is another beef-based Korean soup that’s great for curing hangovers. Spicy and meaty, a great combination!
Tip3: Other popular beef-based Korean hangover soups are: Cow head soup (someorigukbap – 소머리국밥), Oxtail soup (kkorigomtang – 꼬리곰탕), beef and rice soup (sogogigukbap – 소고기국밥)
Jjamppong (짬뽕) – Korean-Chinese food hangover cure
Ever order some Chinese after a night of drinking in your home country? Korea is no different, except this is Korean-Chinese food. Do as the Koreans do and relieve your aching body with this spicy, seafood based noodle soup. The heat it brings to both your mouth and your stomach really helps offset the damage you did last night. It’s the order-in version of hangover cures.
Honorable mentions:
Yuksu (육수) – beef broth – often found at Naengmyun (냉명) restaurants.
Odenggungmul (오뎅국물) – fish cake broth – street food vendors offer unlimited amounts of this (for free!) with any purchase.
Ramyun (라면) – instant noodles – a simple, quick and easy food found in convenience stores all over Korea.
[Hangover tips]
– Look for any Korean food that ends in -gook (국), -gookbap (국밥), -tang (탕). Most any of these will help.
– Stews (jjigae / 찌개) are preferred by some, but not all, as popular hangover cures.
[Language tip]
– 해장하다 (haejanghada) means to eat or drink in order to get over a hangover.

I like galbitang but spicy seafood stew is also good.
Beyond these food, dried pollack soup(북어국) is also helpful for hangover cures !
Also, there are some drinks good for relieving hangovers such as honey water. : D
Gatorade, pepcid ac or Nexium if you have a prescription for it, hot shower, advil, and sleep.
And of course eat some gamja tang.
seullungtang was my go-to hangover soup. It’s as bland as you want and with salt/pepper/kimchi, as spicy or flavorful as you can handle!
Hi I’m Korean. sorry but “Gamja” is one of the name of pig bones (But it’s not). so it is not a potato.
S Korea leads the world in alcoholism and suicides. They need more than solutions to hangovers.
If you are hungry during your trip, ramen is the best choice for lunch or dinner. If you ever get the chance to visit Korea, try their instant noodles.
While galbitang is my favorite, I also enjoy hot seafood stew.
Korean soups are very impressive, most of them go well with rice.
My favorite cuisine is galbitang, although I also like spicy seafood stew.
