- In Korea, ordering 브런치 often implies a specific aesthetic of 'Instagrammable' food, such as avocado toast and open sandwiches, rather than just the timing of the meal.
- Many Koreans use the term 브런치 specifically to describe a leisurely weekend social activity, whereas 아점 is more likely used for a rushed meal when someone wakes up late on a workday.
- While English 'brunch' can be a heavy meal, a Korean 브런치 menu often incorporates local elements, such as serving a side of kimchi or a small bowl of soup with a Western omelette.
