Thoroughly clean the webfoot octopus by rubbing it with salt, rinsing several times under cold water, and removing any internal organs or eyes. Cut larger webfoot octopus into bite-sized pieces if necessary.

In a large bowl, combine gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Add the cleaned webfoot octopus to the marinade and mix well, ensuring each piece is coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
