Hanjungsun’s yogurt chapssaltteok — the rice cake people queued for in Seongsu — launched at GS25 stores nationwide on September 3, 2026, at 3,900 KRW per pack.
If the queue was the only thing stopping you, the convenience store version now covers it.
This post covers the price and launch numbers, what is and isn’t confirmed about the flagship shop, and a walkable dessert course between Seongsu station and Seoul Forest.

Seongsu dessert cafe guide: skip the queue, get it at GS25
The dessert to name is Hanjungsun’s yogurt chapssaltteok, and yes — the GS25 version lets you skip the line, at 3,900 KRW per pack since September 3, 2026.
It is the shop’s signature item, and every GS25 in the country stocks it now.
When a dessert jumps from a neighborhood shop to a convenience store chain, I first check what the convenience store version costs and whether the shop’s own details are actually verifiable — here, only the GS25 side has a confirmed price and date.
If I were sending a friend, I’d say buy the GS25 pack for 3,900 KRW, then walk the red-brick blocks toward Seoul Forest — that way the dessert is covered without betting the day on a queue nobody has verified.
The walkable dessert zone is the red-brick block stretch between Seongsu station and Seoul Forest.
That is the course this guide follows.
| GS25, nationwide | Yes — 3,900 KRW per pack, launched September 3, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Hanjungsun Seongsu flagship | Not confirmed — in-store price, address and hours were not found in any recent source |
Hanjungsun yogurt chapssaltteok: GS25 price vs the Seongsu shop
The GS25 pack costs 3,900 KRW per pack, nationwide, from the September 3, 2026 launch.
On the flagship side, the in-store price, address and opening hours were not confirmed from any recent source, so the two cannot be compared as prices.
That split matters when you plan.
If you just want the tteok, the GS25 pack is the only option with a known cost — buy it there.
If you want the flagship visit itself, check the shop’s current address and hours on a live map before you go, because planning around unverified details risks a wasted trip.
Whether the GS25 version matches the in-store original in recipe or texture is also unknown — no comparison has been published.
Treat them as two separate products until someone tests them side by side.
How the launch went: 400 units, then 100,000 in one day
A pilot sale of 400 units sold out before the nationwide launch, and day one at GS25 moved 100,000 units on September 3, 2026.
That works out to roughly 390 million KRW in one day (100,000 × 3,900 KRW).
Both numbers point the same way: this is fast-moving stock.
Day-one totals don’t guarantee shelf stock at a given store, though, so if the pack is the whole point of your stop, go early in the day rather than late.
Korean travel news is running it as ‘the tteok you had to queue for in Seongsu, now at a convenience store’ — a frame repeated this week.
The Seongsu dessert walk: Seongsu station to Seoul Forest
Plan the dessert course as the red-brick blocks between Seongsu station and Seoul Forest, with Seoul Forest park on the same walking route.
That stretch is the zone the dessert shops cluster in, and the park gives you a sit-down break without leaving the course.
For a named stop, Daelim Changgo is the one that comes up: a gallery cafe converted from a 1970s rice mill, with visitor ratings around 4.2–4.3.
Its current menu prices and hours could not be confirmed from a dated source, so check them before you build the day around it.
If the queue at any single shop is the only obstacle, remember the GS25 pack covers the signature dessert; if you want the full cafe-and-park afternoon, the walk itself is the plan.
Why Seongsu got so crowded with foreign visitors
Seongsu drew 3 million foreign visitors in 2024, which is the background behind the queues the launch story keeps referencing.
Korean media is running the launch under exactly that frame — the once-queue-only dessert now on a convenience store shelf — so expect the area to stay busy.
The 3 million figure is a 2024 statistic, useful as background on demand, not a description of how crowded it is right now.
Cafes anchor most visitor itineraries in the neighborhood, so midday blocks fill first.
If crowds change your plans, the GS25 route is the low-crowd option; if the atmosphere is part of the trip, go on a weekday morning and keep the walking course short.
