The global Top 5 group refers to the top-performing stores, representing about 0.3% of Five Guys' more than 1,900 locations worldwide. Five Guys Yongsan, which opened as the eighth store in Korea, covers a total area of 413.1 square meters (approximately 125 pyeong) and has 118 seats. It is located at a major transportation hub where KTX and subway lines 1 and 4 intersect.

A representative from FG Korea explained, "While the high foot traffic in the area is a contributing factor, the rapid entry into the top group reflects customers' strong preference for the taste and quality of Five Guys."

Five Guys began its operations in Korea in June 2023 with its first store in Gangnam. Over two years, it has attracted more than 4.5 million cumulative visitors. Currently, stores are operating in Gangnam, Yeouido, Express Bus Terminal, Seoul Station, Pangyo, Gwanggyo, Apgujeong, and Yongsan. An additional store is scheduled to open at the Yeoju Premium Outlets in Gyeonggi Province in the fourth quarter of this year.

Separately, Hanwha Galleria, the parent company of FG Korea, is considering the sale of its business rights for Five Guys.
