It is a fiction.

About Chinese food. because of this movie, 'fried dumplings' becomes meaning 'kidnapped'. so when this movie came out, korean used to say 'are you gonna kidnapping me like old boy?' when some one buy 'fried dumplings'. 'Fried dumpling' is one of chinese food. In korea, there are so many chinese restaurant which sells 'Jjajangmyeon', 'Jjamppong', 'tangsuyuk'. actually 'jjajangmyeon' and 'jjamppong' are not chinese food. there is similar kind of food in china but it was invented by korean who run chinese restaurant.

About korean food. I think one of the best awful scene is 'eating small octopus' scene. it may look like very cruel. it is one of raw eating like sushi. small octopus has seperated nerve system so actually it is dead already but still moves because of seperated nerve system. (Furthemore, actually it is very delicious)
