CU Convenience Store Ssangueng Uicheon Branch
You are standing before the small outdoor table where a pivotal reunion takes place [1]. Seong Gi-hun, struggling after his first taste of the games, finds the elderly Oh Il-nam sitting here alone [1]. They share '깡소주' (soju without snacks) and raw ramen—specifically Samyang ramen—crunching on the dry noodles as if they were a rare delicacy [1-3]. The air is thick with melancholy as Il-nam confesses he is re-entering the games because life outside is just as much of a 'hell' [2, 3]. Today, the neon green chairs and matching table remain in the same spot, and the shop windows are adorned with stills from this very scene, allowing you to sit where the 'Gganbu' connection truly began [2].
