Ramen, EXPLAINED
Samyang Buldak, the Korean ramen brand, has launched limited-edition Valentine's Day packaging in the U.S. featuring the tagline “Hotter Than My Ex.”
The special packaging is available for Buldak's Big Bowl Original instant ramen and can be purchased via TikTok Shop, HMart and Walmart throughout February.
Samyang America CEO Youngsik Shin stated the campaign is about confidence, celebrating Valentine's Day with more spice and less sweetness, reflecting Buldak's bold personality.
Buldak ramen has gained significant popularity on social media, particularly through spicy ramen challenges, contributing to a substantial increase in Samyang's company value.
The rise in ramen's popularity in the U.S. is attributed to growing interest in Korean pop culture, the affordability of ramen amidst rising grocery prices and its adaptability as a meal.
