um I was at that EXACT stand today in Insa-dong and had to buy some because I kept seeing/smelling the nuts they were totally delicious.

okay on second thought it might have been a different stand but the sign said 3,000 and 5,000 but then there was hanja and I remember being confused. EITHER WAY delicious.
