The cost of kimjang (kimchi-making) is expected to go up by 20 percent, according to one data analysis, compared to the previous year due to inflation in the prices of cabbage, radishes and other vegetables. According to the Korea Price Research Center, which rolled out a price analysis of 15 kimjang ingredients in 17 local markets, making kimchi for a four-person household will cost 419,130 won, a 19.6 percent jump from a year before.
