Ensuring Global Health,

Korean Sauces Gochujang (red chili paste) is no longer just a sauce for Korean. With the global recognition of Korean food as a health food in line with the Hallyu (Korean wave), Gochujang drew worldwide attention. In 2020, Gochujang was registered in its original Korean name in the Codex Alimentarius Commission.

Moreover, with the growing overseas consumption of traditional fermented foods that boost immunity due to COVID-19, other types of sauces such as Doenjang (soybean paste), Ganjang (soy sauce), and Kimchi seasoning that double the taste of Korean food, are becoming more popular. Likewise, people around the world are gradually becoming more familiar with Korean sauces.

Transformation of Gochujang, into the World ochujang is consumed around the G world in various ways. As a fermented sauce with a harmonious sweet taste and a spicy taste different from Tabasco, Gochujang is drawing popularity along with a higher favorability for K-FOOD such as Tteokbokki among consumers in their 20s and 30s thanks to the global spread of Korean content such as K-dramas. Korea’s Gochujang export performance is rapidly growing, reaching USD 37.67 million in 2019, USD 50.93 million in 2020, and USD 52.80 million in 2021.

Above all, the ‘transformation’ of Gochujang, modified to fit the local diet, stands out.

This is also a new opportunity to continue the interest in Korean sauce. CJ CheilJedang’s ‘Gotchu’ aimed at the US market is an example. It is fresh Gochujang made in liquid form to sprinkle on dishes like hot sauce or to dip food into. Chungjungone also released dressing sauce and dipping sauce type Gochujang.

According to IBIS World, a market research institute, the size of the US hot sauce market is expected to grow from about USD 1.542 billion in 2019 to about USD 1.832 billion in 2024. Among them, there is a growing prospect that Korean Gochujang can distinguish itself in the US hot sauce market, with a new type of Gochujang taking the lead.

Halal Gochujang has also appeared in the market. This is a strategy for Southeast Asia, where Gochujang is most popular. Following

Sajo Haepyo CO., LTD. and Sempio Foods Company, CJ CheilJedang and others have introduced Halal Gochujang one after another, attracting Muslim consumers mainly in Southeast Asia. As the Muslim population reaches 1 billion, whether Halal Gochujang will further expand the Gochujang market is highly anticipated.

硏究公司宜必思世界(IBIS World)預測，美攻的辣醬市 場規模從2019年的約1.542億美元，到2024年增加到約 1.832億美元?由此可見，新形態辣椒醬産品在美攻辣醬 市場的前景看好? 最近，淸眞辣椒醬也開始進入市場?這是面向辣椒醬最暢 銷的東南亞市場採取的戰略?隨着思潮海牌株式繇社?

Korean Traditional Sauce, Doenjang oenjang is made by fermenting and agD ing soybeans. As Doenjang is known to have high nutritional values such as anticancer effect, antioxidant effect, and immune regulation, people across the world have a favorable view toward it. For example, Doenjangjjigae (soybean paste jjigae) is recognized as a vegan soup and is well-received as a health food in the United States. Doenjang especially goes well with Southeast Asian cuisine that uses fermented soybean paste. Fusion dishes can be cooked by adding Korean Doenjang when cooking Morning Glory, a representative vegetable of Southeast Asia, or dipping Ssamjang made with Doenjang when eating Mukata, a Thai barbecue. Korea’s Doenjang are increasing every year from USD 7.236 million in 2017 to USD 10.97 million in 2021.

nterest in Ganjang which acts as a liquid seaI soning is also growing. This is highly thanks to how Ganjang was introduced as a basic essential seasoning for Bulgogi. Consumption of Korean Ganjang is increasing with the widespread perception that it is the main Korean sauce ingredient that enhances the taste and flavor unlike salt. This is also thanks to the appearance of Ganjang-based foods in K-dramas, such as Ganjanggyeranbab (soy sauce egg rice) and Ganjanggejang (soy sauce marinated crab). Such a huge response helped the exports of Ganjang increase from USD 13.97 million in 2017 by 33% to USD 18.6 million in 2021. Korea AgroFisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT) analyzed, “The export of Doenjang and Ganjang with the keywords immunity and health has increased in the period that K-sauce is drawing attention, due to the spread of home-cooked food trends around the world and the Hallyu craze caused by COVID-19.”

This raises the possibility of expectations for Cheonggukjang to succeed.

In addition, people around the world often search sauces for Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen and Seasoned Chicken, which are leading K-Ramyeon and K-Chicken. In addition, Gochujang-based Korean sauces such as Tteokbokki seasoning, Budaejjigae (sausage jjigae) seasoning, and Sundubujjigae (soft bean curd jjigae) seasoning, are also exported to the United States and around the world.

Black Ginseng That will Change the Paradigm of Ginseng Market 12 Korea Agrafood

eumsan in Chungcheongnam-do is the G main ginseng producer in Korea with a history of 1500 years. Moreover, Geumsan has a huge daily temperature range and is the best for cultivating ginseng, which is known to contain more Saponin, the main ingredient of ginseng, than that of other regions at 5.2%.

In Geumsan, there is a place drawing attention as it is producing black ginseng instead of the mainstream red ginseng; it is Geumsan Black Ginseng CO., LTD., which produces highquality black ginseng products using GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) certified ginseng as ingredients. Advancing in the niche of the ginseng market, this place is promoting the value of black ginseng by exporting such products to 13 countries around the world.

‘Black Ginseng’, which Steamed and Dried Ginseng 9 Times Geumsan Black Ginseng is a specialized black ginseng manufacturing company that opened in 2013. Black ginseng is obtained by steaming and drying ginseng nine times. Black ginseng is steamed and dried more than red ginseng, which is 2-3 times, so effective saponin content increases. It is known that the content of ginsenoside-Rg3, a type of saponin that strengthens immunity, increases. Black ginseng also tastes less bitter than red ginseng and tastes sweet and sour, so there is less resistance.

Born and raised in Geumsan, CEO Ko Taehun was convinced that black ginseng could be a new vigor that could reorganize the ginseng market saturated with red ginseng. He said, “Since black ginseng has been steamed 9 times and dried for a long period of time, it has a refined taste and the saponin content increased and thus it was competitive enough in the ginseng market.” As black ginseng was spread by word of mouth, Geumsan Black

Ginseng’s major brand ‘Geumheuk’ also became known, and its sales in 2021 recorded about USD 6.9 million. This is an increase of nearly 40 times from 2013.

From Raw Ingredient to Product, Safety Comes First Geumsan Black Ginseng uses GAP certified ginseng as a raw ingredient. This product is highly safe, as it has passed 320 pesticide residue tests. Also, Geumsan Black Ginseng selects ginseng through its own ginseng screening group and purchases it at a price 5% higher than the wholesale market. This is to ensure that farmers can stably produce GAP certified ginseng. Moreover, the production facility received GMP and HACCP certifications and recently acquired Halal and Kosher certifications along with FSSC22000, a food safety management system certification.

As such, Geumsan Black Ginseng makes the best products with guaranteed safety. Its major products include Geumheukjeong, which is a black ginseng concentrate, and Korean Black Ginseng Everygin Mild Extract and Geumheuk

Geumsan Black Ginseng is expanding its product export routes to Africa beyond Central Asia such as Kazakhstan, following the United States, France, Canada, Vietnam, and Hong Kong. It exports to a total of 13 countries.

Now Advancing into CIS Countries Exports of USD 700,000 in 2018 jumped to USD 1.8 million in 2021. Geumsan Black Ginseng could rapidly increase its exports largely thanks to its devotion to developing locally customized products. Examples are introducing caffeine-free energy drinks using black ginseng in the United States, liquid products that alleviate the unique bitter taste of ginseng in Canada, and black ginseng cosmetics good for gifts in Vietnam. Geumsan Black Ginseng set this year’s export target at USD 3 million, and it expects to sufficiently achieve the target.

Geumsan Black Ginseng plans to aggressively target CIS countries including Kazakhstan, because it has judged that CIS countries can become a new market for black ginseng as long as the politics and economy stabilize in the future.

This set the background for CEO Ko’s children to move to study in Kazakhstan in 2010, and they are currently leading the overseas marketing business at Geumsan Black Ginseng.

CEO Ko Tae-hun said, “If the value of black ginseng becomes more known, we will be able to expand the export market especially when immunity becomes more important due to COVID-19.”

Global Trend _ Generation MZ

Generation MZ Emerged as the Core of Consumption 消費の核として浮上するMZ世代 The consumption craze of young people is growing.

The younger generation used to be on the edge of consumption in the past due to low income, and now they are not only leading the consumption trend but are also emerging as a major consumer group. Korean agricultural products are especially drawing attention from young consumers around the world due to the influence of the Hallyu (Korean Wave).

Do you know Generation MZ? In Korea, young people are called the MZ generation, a combination of ‘Generation M’ which refers to millennials born between 1980 and 1994, and ‘Generation Z’, those born between 1995 and 2004.

Generation MZ is familiar with digital devices such as computers, laptops, and smartphones and are sensitive to trends. Social media is a means of communication for the MZ generation and is used the most to acquire various information. As such, Generation MZ is emerging as the largest purchasing customer group while exerting a strong influence on the distribution market of various products.

This phenomenon is not unique to Korea. Young overseas consumers are also leading consumption trends in various fields. The consumption power of young people is so explosive that there is an expression that ‘Consumption starts with young people’.

Global Trend _ Generation MZ

China buy goods through live broadcasting.

It is no exaggeration to say that the consumption patterns of young consumers became the starting point for changing the distribution environment of agricultural products. This starting point is now a generalized consumption form, and young people continue to discover another consumption form.

農食品の流通環境を變化させるMZ世代

Generation MZ Who Changed the Environment of Agricultural Products Distribution People used to directly purchase agricultural products through a grocery store or supermarket to taste them and check their freshness.

However, this distribution environment has now changed, as online consumption has become more commonplace which may be due to the impact of COVID-19. It is also Generation MZ, young consumers, that led this change.

The spread of online consumption is also changing companies’ marketing. While their marketing was mainly through TV, newspapers, and magazines in the past, now online marketing, especially through social media, has become common. On social media, trend-leading influencers appeared and targeted young consumers, achieving huge success. This phenomenon led ‘live commerce’ to emerge as a new channel of agricultural products sales. In fact, there is a survey that 400 million people in

Korean Agricultural Products Penetrated into Generation MZ Hallyu, represented by K-pop and K-drama, is promoting Korean culture and is driving the popularity of agricultural products.

In fact, as the culture of ‘Dohan’, which is means crossing to Korea, is popular in Japan, but since it is impossible to travel to Korea these days, indirectly watching Korean dramas at home and eating Korean agricultural products has become a new trend.

The consumption trend of young people around the world can be summarized as unique and simple healthy food, and Korean agricultural products align their consumption tendency. For example, in the United States, China, and Japan, a growing number of young people like unique Korean Soju with fruity flavors and garlic bread. In addition, convenience foods such as Korean ramyeon represented by Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen and Tteokbokki, and health functional foods such as Korean Yujacha (citrus tea) and drinking vinegar, are chosen by young overseas consumers. After all, the influence of Hallyu and various Korean agricultural products are gaining popularity from overseas generation MZ who are leading the consumption trend.

An official from the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT) said, “A growing number of Generation MZ, who obtains important information through social media, likes Korean agricultural products and is also emerging as major consumers of Korean agricultural products. The popularity of Korean agricultural products that fit their preference trend is expected to continue this year.”

Korean Strawberries and Grapes have Proven Export Competitiveness 韓攻草撻和葡萄，麟嗇具有出口競爭力 xports of strawberries and grapes, Korea’s E representative hit items, each recorded the highest performance ever. Notably, the combined exports of these items exceeded USD 100 million for the first time as of 2021. There is a keen interest on whether K-Strawberry and K-Grape, which have raised their status as premium items in overseas markets, will maintain their reputation this year.

The Best Export Performance ever Strawberries and grapes are being promoted by the Korean government as hit items. In 2020, the Korean government said it would provide support so that it will be possible for strawberries to be exported USD 100 million within three years, and for grapes to be exported USD 100 million within five years. As part of this, last year, exclusive use aircraft was brought in for export of strawberries to resolve logistics difficulties, while for grapes, storage facilities and technology were provided to extend the period for export.

As a result, Korean strawberries exported 4,871 tons and USD 64.7 million in 2021, up 20% from the previous year. Korean grapes exported 2,315 tons and USD 38.6 million in 2021, up 24% from the previous year. Thus, the combined exports of strawberries and grapes promoted by the Korean

Hong Kong is the largest importer of strawberries with USD 21.7 million, followed by Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia. For grapes as well, Hong Kong imported the most with USD 9.57 million, followed by Vietnam, China, the United States, and Singapore.

What is the Secret to the Popularity of Korean Strawberries and Grapes?

The increase in exports of Korean strawberries and grapes was possible owing to their satisfactory level of export competitiveness. In order to expand exports of strawberries and grapes, the Korean government has intensively managed to acquire a premium image in overseas markets while providing support for the entire process from production to storage, distribution, marketing and sales.

In fact, a promotion was implemented for strawberries in which a famous chef launched a new dessert menu using Korean strawberries at a luxury hotel in Singapore. Resultantly, it played a primary role in spreading the premium image of Korean

strawberries. Korean grapes also have been proven to be competitive in quality, centering on high-end stores in luxury hotels and big department stores abroad. In fact, a Korean Shine Muscat is sold for USD 99.5 at a store in China, stamping it on consumers as a premium product.

Diversification of varieties of Korean strawberries and grapes is another reason for their export competitiveness. Strawberry varieties were diversified to include Maehyang, which used to be the main export variety, Kuemsil, and Kingsberry. Grapes were a huge success as they moved away from Campbell Early and Kyoho, and turned Shine Muscat into their main export variety. Like so, Korean strawberries and grapes became competitive by widening selection for overseas consumers.

Ongoing Efforts to Expand Exports Another reason for the rise in exports of Korean strawberries and grapes is that there has been the Korean government’s support and the results of farmers’ voluntary efforts to improve quality. An integrated export organization has been formed to thoroughly manage the entire process from production to export of Korean strawberries and grapes.

Particularly, strict quality control of products contributes to maintaining a premium image for Korean strawberries and grapes in overseas markets.

Furthermore, the Korean government is striving to enhance the export competitiveness of Korean strawberries and grapes through various support measures. In fact, despite the global supply chain shortages caused by COVID-19, the logistics shortage of strawberries was resolved through the operation of exclusive use aircraft. As for grapes, export expansion was made feasible by extending the export period by two months by providing storage facilities and technology.

It would be noteworthy how Korean strawberries and grapes with a premium image will be evaluated in overseas markets in 2022.

world stage by launching a beverage made from highquality Korean strawberries.

Brand Launch for Products Made from Korean Agricultural Products SINBAD, a Korean dessert company, recently launched a brand called ‘Fresh Hero’.

As can be inferred from the name, Fresh Hero’s brand identity is based on attracting customers with freshness and taste. Also, the company sells premium beverage bases and fruit syrup, and aims to develop products in line with the rapidly changing food and beverage trend.

The reason why SINBAD launched such a new brand is to specialize in products made using Korean agricultural products. Although the company has become known through selling foreign dessert products, it desired to launch a brand specializing in Korean agricultural products.

Ailee Lee, CEO of SINBAD, explained, “While working in overseas sales for over a decade, I had a goal of starting a trading business. For the same reasons, my company is named after SINBAD, who travels abroad on a carpet. Recently, as the company got settled, we launched the Fresh Hero brand after producing products made from Korean agricultural products and thereby setting a goal of increasing farm income.”

Strawberry Syrup Made from Korean Agricultural Products Fresh Hero’s flagship product is Korean Cafe Strawberry. It has been only 7 months since its release, but it is quite popular on Korean e-commerce sites such as Coupang

and Naver. According to SINBAD, the product has a subtle lemon scent which differentiates it from other strawberry syrup products. It also has a high level of consumer satisfaction since it can be easily consumed at home by mixing it with milk, yogurt, or carbonated water. Notably, Seolhyang strawberries are used as the main ingredient, making up 78% of all the ingredients. Thus, according to CEO Ailee Lee, the product has higher sugar content and stronger aroma, allowing it to be more competitive. Seolhyang is Korea’s representative strawberry variety with an average sugar content of 11 brix.

CEO Ailee Lee said, “Because it’s made by grinding Seolhyang strawberries, it has higher sugar content and stronger aroma than other products. Our strawberry syrup products are sold in small quantities from 1 kg, and great

Opening up New Markets and Promoting Korean Agricultural Products SINBAD plans to expand into overseas markets. Although there is no opportunity to actively promote at overseas food fairs due to COVID-19, it is expected that exports will be possible based on its competitiveness in Korea. It is expected that the favorable evaluations abroad of Korean agricultural products can be utilized in promotion to target global markets. It indicates Korean agricultural products are competitive as Korean strawberries are preferred in Thailand and Indonesia, while Korean pears are preferred in Vietnam. Based on these facts, the company plans to promote export, targeting top 20% of local consumers, and to develop products in keeping with current food trends.

CEO Ailee Lee said, “We traveled abroad to 23 countries to identify food trends and we tried continuously to figure out locally favored kinds of food. Lately, we’ve been considering developing products that utilize Korean agricultural products. For example, we’re planning to release a product that can promote Korea such as ‘potato bread’ made with potatoes. We will try to develop products using Korean agricultural products and promote them overseas.”

2022, the First Year of Korea’s Leap Forward as a Powerful Exporter of Agricultural and Fishery Products

Ki No-sun, Executive Vice President of Trade Division & Food Industry, Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT)

In 2021, Korea’s agricultural and fishery products exports reached USD 11.35 billion. Such USD 10 billion export was achieved 30 years after the Korea Agro-Fisheries and Food Trade Corporation (aT) started export business. Based on last year’s performance, aT set a goal to further expand exports this year. We heard about evaluation on last year and this year’s plans from Ki No-sun, aT Executive Vice President of Trade Division & Food Industry.

Q

Last year, the exports of Korean agricultural and fishery products broke the USD 10 billion mark for the first time.

Q

“Despite the continued COVID-19 and global logistics crisis, agricultural and fishery products exports exceeded USD 10 billion for the first time in history as of Nov. 25, 2021, and the total agricultural and fishery products exports recorded USD 11.35 billion. This is a 15% increase compared to the same period of the previous year, marking the highest rate of increase since 2011. I would like to evaluate the export of USD 10 billion in agricultural and fishery products last year as a valuable performance achieved together by the Korean government, the public sector, and the private sector.”

Q

What is the key to aT’s export policy this year to continue the export trend as last year?

“This year, aT plans to focus on raising and reinforcing hit items, building a logistics base, expanding entry into new markets, and nurturing export businesses in small and medium-sized provinces. To foster hit items, aT plans to target its overseas high-income class more strongly by emphasizing premiums such as fostering new varieties, expanding support for low-temperature distribution, and improving packaging materials. To establish a logistics base, we will reinforce the overseas logistics infrastructure such as cold chains, while continuing to expand the operation of dedicated ships and aircraft in response to global logistics challenges.”

What are the export policies that overseas buyers might be interested in?

“To enhance the export capabilities of Korean small and medium-sized food companies, aT operates export support systems such as export consulting, excellent agricultural products package support, global brand development, and overseas certification registration. In line with these, aT also runs various systems for overseas buyers to handle and promote Korean agricultural and fishery products more easily. The examples include logistics service support or promotion support, and support for the establishment and operation of stores specialized in Korean agricultural products.”

Q

Is there anything you would like to say to overseas buyers?

“Last year, Korea’s agricultural and fishery products exports exceeded USD 10 billion, the highest ever in history. This was possible thanks to the overseas buyers who worked diligently to develop the local market for Korean agricultural and fishery products despite the prolonged difficult conditions.

From now on, aT plans to actively support overseas buyers so that they do not struggle with handling or expanding the promotion of Korean agricultural and fishery products.

We would like to ask buyers to work together to develop local markets for agricultural and fishery products in Korea as well.”

Cabbage is one of the top three longevity foods selected by <TIME> magazine in the United States. This means there are so many beneficial ingredients for the body.

First, cabbage has different nutrient contents for each part. The outer leaf is rich in vitamin A, iron, and calcium, and the white inner leaf is high in vitamin B and vitamin C. The nutritional component of cabbage increases deeper inside the cabbage, and the wick contains the most vitamin U, which is effective in preventing gastrointestinal diseases. A good cabbage has light green outer leaves and is heavy and hard. When storing in the refrigerator, take 2-3 outer leaves and wrap the body of cabbage to prevent moisture loss. To store it for a long time, can cut it according to its intended use, divide it into plastic bags, and freeze it.

Jeollanam-do and Jeju-do (island) are the main producers of cabbage in Korea, which shows that cabbage is grown in relatively warm regions.

Overseas exports of high-quality Korean cabbage are also rising. 2021 exports also increased by 24% compared to the previous year. Taiwan mainly imports Korean cabbage, followed by Russia, Hong Kong, and Japan. Moreover, cabbage for a family of one or two, has recently been selling like hotcakes. It is a ‘small cabbage’ which is cultiivated in Gunsan, Jeolla-buk-do, Korea. Since small cabbage has more sugar content than regular cabbage and is the size of a normal fruit, it is good to eat raw.

Korean small cabbage is used in salads or stir-fried dishes in Japan and as an ingredient in hotpot, dumplings in Taiwan.

Such evolved Makgeolli is also drawing attention abroad. The interest in low-degree alcoholic drink has increased mainly among the younger generation, with Makgeolli also in the spotlight due to the popularity of Hallyu (Korean Wave). One consumer said, “I traveled to Korea several times and drank Makgeolli many times. I like Makgeolli very much because it smells like sweet rice and milk. I also like the rice Makgeolli sold at Jingdong Shangcheong (JD)”, expressing content. There were various other reasons, such as ‘refreshing and low alcohol’, ‘sweet’, and ‘I like how carbonic acid did not overflow when I was opening Makgeolli’.

Makgeolli is fermented liquor that represents Korea like wine from France and beer from Germany. Makgeolli made from rice can be broadly divided into pasteurized Makgeolli and raw Makgeolli. The difference between the two is the presence or absence of lactobacillus. While pasteurized Makgeolli has a clean taste and a long shelf life, raw Makgeolli contains lactobacillus, so it greatly helps with digestion and bowel movements.

Also, Makgeolli products using various ingredients are released. Makgeolli with chestnuts or pine nuts is the main example.

Chestnut Makgeolli has the sweetness of chestnuts, while pine nuts Makgeolli tastes more savory. Makgeolli containing local specialties such as fruits and vegetables and differentiated with high quality, luxurious packaging, is coming out one by one. Makgeolli products with grapes or bananas also joined the popular product group as well.

Beijing Winter Olympics The torch, which symbolizes the Olympic spirit, returned to Beijing after 14 years as the 2022 Winter Olympics was held in Beijing following the 2008 Summer Olympics. Through this, Beijing, China, was recorded as the only city in the world to host the first Winter and Summer Olympics. In the Beijing Winter Olympics held from the 4th of last month, athletes representing each country competed for 109 gold medals in 7 sports for 17 days.

Attention was drawn to whether Sven Kramer, who holds the most medals in men’s speed skating, and Charlotte Kalla, who

competed in the women’s freestyle in cross-country skiing, would break the medal record. In addition, ‘snowboard halfpipe emperor’ Shaun White, and Hanyu Yuzuru who challenged for three Olympic gold medals in a row drew huge attention. The Beijing Winter Olympics was also meaningful in that three Asian Olympics in Korea, China, and Japan were finished. This Asian Olympic series started with 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, followed by 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics and 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

Olympics is All about ‘Rice Power’ After All Since For athletes competing in the game, condition control is vital, so ‘food’ is also of great interest. The Athletes’ Village of Beijing Winter Olympic Games especially became a hot topic as food came down from the ceiling by robots and were delivered by robots. ‘Chinese-style’ cuisine was served on the table at the Beijing Olympic Village this time. However, it is a mistake to think that what pleases my palate will also suit others. The Korean national team tried to maintain their physical condition by airlifting in Korean cup rice and instant food.

Then, what about in the other Olympics? It is known that there has only been one time in the Olympics history where food complaints were not raised - that’s the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. In fact, it was praised by the IOC, saying, “It is the first time that there have been no complaints about food among athletes.” At the Athletes’ Village of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games, foreign athletes satisfied with not only Western food but also Janchiguksu (banquet noodles), Ssambap (leaf wraps and rice), Gukbap (rice

Where can foreigners see and feel Korean traditional culture? If you ask Koreans, by far the number one place is the Korean Folk Village. Located on Yongin Folk Village Road, the Korean Folk Village is an outdoor folk museum that recreates the traditional life of 500 years of Joseon Dynasty. Visitors can experience a variety of houses such as farmhouses, private blacksmiths, and houses for nobles, play folk games such as tightrope walking, and enjoy folk goods such as farm machinery.

There is no disagreement that the Korean drama ‘Daejanggeum’ triggered Hallyu (Korean Wave). Dealing with the life of Daejanggeum, the best female medical practitioner in Joseon, was popular in Japan and China, as well as Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

The set where Daejanggeum was filmed is ‘Yongin Dae Jang Geum Park’. It is still used as a filming location for Korean historical dramas, offering a plenty to see for tourists who love Korean historical dramas. In contrast to the Korean Folk Village, today’s theme park, Everland is also of high interest to foreigners.

As the first and largest theme park in Korea, it continuously holds adventure-filled festivals 365 days a year from spring to winter.

Baegam Sundae

The food that represents Yongin is Baegam Sundae, which can be tasted at Baekamjang, a five-day village market in Baegam-myeon, Yongin. This Sundae is made with ingredients such as pork belly, leek, and bean sprouts in pork intestines, and is generally favored as it is rich in vegetables. Baekam was once the region with the most livestock pigs, so it was easy to find pork appendages, which are ingredients for Sundae. This explains why Baekam became famous for Sundae. Let’s try Tteokgalbi (grilled galbi patties) made with Seongsan Hanbang Pork, a pork brand that Yongin has been cultivating since 2001. It is characterized as pigs raised by feed mixed with over 35 herbal medicines, and its meat is soft and chewy.

Seongsan Hanbang Pork won the grand prize in the pig brand at the Gyeonggi-do Livestock Products Contest.

In Yongin, there is a ‘Little Italian Street’-a cafe street in Bojeong-dong. About 100 shops such as cafes, restaurants, and shopping shops are concentrated together on the street, which exudes an exotic atmosphere with many spaces of unique interiors. From coffee and dessert to steak and pasta, it is perfect for taking a break from busy daily life.

Namsa cucumbers

Namsa cucumbers have been produced in Namsa-eup, Yongin since the 1960s. Cultivated in clear, clean water in the waterworks protection area, they are aromatic, rich in moisture, and has a chewy, crunchy taste. Designated as a regional specialty item by Gyeonggi-do, Namsa cucumbers are grown in three crop groups.

Another special product grown with clean water is Baegok rice. It uses clear water from the upper reaches of the Paldang Water Source, a first-class water source in Seoul and underground water. Baegok rice is especially sticky and oily, since it is produced in accordance with standard cultivation management manuals such as soil analysis, packing inspection, and rice quality analysis in a grouped complex. Baegok rice is also a local intellectual property of Yongin.

Yongin is the largest producer of bok choy. 70% of Korea’s total production is harvested in Yongin. In 2020, when CEO Paik Jong-won who appears on Korean TV cooking shows, introduced dishes using bok choy from Yongin, the city was highlighted as the home of bok choy.
