I already asked in /r/whatsthisplant, but no answer there. Fresh shoots at a market in Korea, late March. What are they, do they come from the plant in bottom image, and if not, what is this plant?

두릅(dureup) also known as Fatsia or Aralia sprouts. They’re the young shoots that bud from the trees in spring, only eaten during that time of the year because that’s when the sprouts are not as poisonous as the fully-grown leaves (the little traces of toxins will be destroyed upon cooking). You blanch them and dip them in chojang or coat them in a batter to make jeon.
