"Cheonggukjang Smell at 8 PM"... Appeal Posted in Apartment Sparks Debate

Many of you probably live in apartments or villas, right?

What do you think about a request asking residents not to cook foods with strong odors, such as Cheonggukjang (traditional fermented soybean paste stew) or pork belly, late at night in multi-family housing?

A recently uploaded post is titled, "Is this an era where you get complaints if you boil Cheonggukjang in the evening in a multi-family housing complex?"

Looking at a photo of a notice posted in an apartment elevator, it contains a message stating that residents are experiencing severe daily inconveniences due to strong cooking odors flowing into their homes during the evening hours recently.

In particular, the poster appealed that around 8 PM, strong food smells like Cheonggukjang and grilling meat enter homes through verandas and windows, making it difficult even to leave windows open for ventilation.

Online reactions included responses criticizing the notice as excessive, with comments like, "Can't we even boil Cheonggukjang or grill meat in our own homes?"

On the other hand, there were quite a few voices saying that while Cheonggukjang and pork belly are both great, the overly strong smells are honestly difficult to deal with, and residents in multi-family housing need to be somewhat considerate of others.

We are curious to know your thoughts.
