Janggun Jokbal Bossam Singwan

장군족발보쌈 신관 Janggun means 'general' (the military rank); jokbal is braised pig's trotters, bossam is boiled pork wrapped in greens, and singwan means 'new annex' — this is the second building across the alley from the original.

Compiled from 6 blog posts read in fullSources →

The annex of Janggun Jokbal Bossam, facing the original building in an alley beside Nagwon Arcade near Jongno 3-ga. People come in groups for trotters and bossam with platter noodles, buckwheat noodles and seafood pancake over drinks. We read 17 posts from February to October 2026; 6 describe eating in the annex. We set aside 6 that ate in the main building, and 6 are automated new-listing roundups.

What sets it apart

  1. Two posts mention private rooms. A wedding-invitation dinner booked the annex by phone and found glasses already set in the room.
  2. Two posts said the meat had no gamey smell — one about the trotters, one about the bossam.
  3. One post found both regular tables and a shoes-off floor-seating area.
  4. Three posts came as groups — a work dinner, a wedding-invitation party, a farewell — and one couple came on a date.

Where it is

Map showing where Janggun Jokbal Bossam Singwan is

We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.

Getting inside

No post says what floor the annex is on.

Nobody wrote about a step at the door or wheelchair/stroller access — unknown, not absent.

'Restroom inside' appears only in one copied listing; no annex post described the restroom.

No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 12 posts we gathered, 6 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.

We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know

  • One post asked about bringing wine and was told it was fine for a fee — so corkage exists but is not free, and no amount was given.
  • Only one annex post lists hours, copied from a listing (daily 11:00–21:40, no closing day). Another thought the annex only opened in the evening, so we don't know whether it opens at lunch.
  • No annex post gave a price; we don't know what a meal costs.
  • The annex number 02-766-8288 appears in one copied listing; 02-743-3557, cited by several posts, is the main building's. One group booked by phone.
  • Posts place it between Jongno 3-ga and Anguk stations, but none of the annex posts describes the walk.
  • No annex post reports waiting. One went to the annex at 8 pm on a Monday because the main building was full; another called it less crowded than the nearby trotter alley.
