  "summary": "The Korea Times reports that Seoul is hosting its annual Restaurant Week, a citywide event that will bring together 124 dining spots, ranging from Korean and Western establishments to cafes and dessert shops. The week-long celebration, which begins on Friday, aims to draw diners into both neighborhood and high-profile eateries by offering special menus, discounts, and complimentary desserts. This year's program, part of the Taste of Seoul 2026 initiative, includes food markets, culinary tours, cooking classes, and awards recognizing contributions to the city's dining culture. The participating venues span various categories, with 41 selected for the city's 100 Taste of Seoul list or its 50 Best Cafes and Desserts list. Additionally, Naver Pay has partnered with the event to offer a payment promotion, giving customers points worth 50 percent of their bill, up to 10,000 won ($7.55), for one transaction per person at participating establishments.",
