Can I reapply for a DTV visa after a rejection at the Korean Embassy?
I applied for a DTV under a cooking program at the Korean Embassy a week ago, but today I received a rejection email from the embassy. There were no missing documents.
In this situation, do you think there’s a chance if I revise the letter to the ambassador and reapply? Or is it basically impossible to reapply at the same embassy once it’s been rejected?

You're cooked buddy. Ask them how you can get approved.

Heads up: If your passport has a two-word first name, watch out during the scan.
Sometimes it gets split into first + middle name, and that can cause instant cancellation.

If your work is related to cooking (example you are a chef), they might have got triggered you could work here illegally. I suggest you you either to mail or call them and politely ask what it didn't work out. Keep in mind that they aren't supposed to explain the reason for the rejection so avoid criticisms

I would try to apply at a different embassy if you believe you had everything. Some places are more strict than others. I was approved in hcmc with soft power cooking classes a year ago

It's been mostly great, still getting used to the chaotic traffic in Bangkok. It's mostly easy, lots of people speak english, locals are friendly and most things are available through an app.
I assume you have a korean passport. Lucky it's free for you to apply for the dtv. Dont have to lose any money being rejected. I helped my Korean friend apply with a cooking school in hanoi, no issues at all

You can reapply at the same consulate but unless you can work out why your application was rejected the result is likely to be the same

There obviously was something missing or wrong with your application. You have provided far too little information for us to provide meaningful help.

I didn’t receive any request for additional documents. It was rejected outright.I’m not sure why it was rejected. I explained everything about the business I run and the work I’ve done related to Thai cuisine. I also submitted proof of sufficient savings for the past six months.

I think it's because they are thinking you will be opening up a Thai restaurant...in Thailand
Forget mentioning anything about you having a restaurant.

Anonymous participant why do you think the letter is what caused your application to be rejected? Did they ask for any additional documents during the process?
