BTS Jimin Unintentionally Triggers Surge Of Sales Of Samyang Foods' Ramen
The lead vocalist of the world's most phenomenal K-pop boy band BTS, Park Jimin, best known as Jimin, 25, is said to have contributed majorly to the sales of Samyang Foods on its ramen product.
Reports reveal the real deal
A report by the K-pop news site, Allkpop, says that Jimin has "sparked global interest," leading people to purchase more of the Samyang Foods' ramen than they used to do. Having that said, the Filter singer vastly contributed to the increasing sales of the brand.
To those who do not know the brand, Samyang Foods is a famous instant noodle brand in South Korea founded by Jeon Jung Yoon on September 15, 1961. Since then, the brand became the most-sought South Korean brand that imports products from various countries, especially in Asia.
To date, Samyang Foods is one of the leading food manufacturers globally, which happens to be the first ramen company in South Korea.
BTS Jimin's contribution
As per Business Watch Korea, Jimin started the fans' massive buying move when he was spotted with flaming red lips and watery eyes while eating one of the brand's "hot chicken stir-fried ramen."
