Going vegan in South Korea is never easy since Koreans love to eat meat and enjoy having barbecue anytime of the day.
Although at present, many people give interest in choosing plant-based diets and become health conscious as ever. There has been a growing number of Korean celebrities who opted to go for a vegan diet and are open to the public for their love of green food.
These Korean celebrities inspire their fans to slowly try choosing a vegan menu rather than the red meat, fast food chains, and other poultry delivery products.
