'g' in Korean

Hi. I'm trying to cook a korean dish, but I need "500 g" of water. I thought that might mean grams, but that doesn't seem to make sense. Any ideas?

Many countries use weight instead of volume in recipies. The symbol g does indeed stand for grams.
Water has a density of 1 kilogram per liter, so 500 grams is 0.5 liters. You need 1/2 a liter of water.
That is a little over 2 U.S. cups of water.
