It should be called as a Cabbage Crisis, however, the price of the cabbages have a severe impact on the price of Kimchi because cabbage is the major ingredient. Normally restaurants don't charge for unlimited refills of Kimchi but the current situation has made the people pay $2.00 per small plate of Kimchi in many restaurants in Seoul. Actually it is not Kimchi making season yet. It is too warm to make Kimchi for the Winter time. The ideal Winter Kimchi timing would be between mid November and mid December. According to the article from a Korean Newspaper, the cabbage price will go down to $2.00 by the end of this month.

The cabbage crisis is happening in Japan now. Chinese cabbages will be imported to Japan to control the cabbage price so it will be over soon.
