    The sandwich was first made by the owner of the SBS cafeteria where the staff and kpop idols would eat before going on stage. Inkigayo is the name of the Music show SBS airs. A lot of kpop idols liked the sandwich and since the fans can't eat at the cafeteria, Convenience stores such as 711 and GS25 started selling their own version. Kpop idols also used the sandwich to exchange numbers by unwrapping one side, sliding in their numbers written on a paper and giving it to someone.

      "Kpop idols also used the sandwich to exchange numbers by unwrapping one side, sliding in their numbers written on a paper and giving it to someone."
      This. And for additional context for people unfamiliar with the kpop world - it's more than just attractive young people exchanging numbers. Dating while under contract is considered potentially career-risking (attitudes are loosening lately, but idols still try to keep it discrete). This is due to the perception that idols in relationships will ruin the personal fantasies of their most delusional fans, leading to reduced sales. I don't know if that actually happens, but the worry is so great it's actually written into their contracts - no dating. Senior artists near the end of their careers may get away with it, but not rookie groups. There are literally singers kicked out of the groups they were about to debut with for violating dating bans.
      But idols are human so of course they date, and this "sandwich note passing" technique is rumored as one way they flirt/hook up without the public's knowledge. It's also an annual tradition that the Korean tabloids "expose" a secretly dating famous couple every New Year's.
      It's so funny to me that in the west, celebrities will carry on very public yet fake showmances for publicity and clout, but in kpop they keep real relationships hidden.

    It tastes different because one of the ramens was budae jjigae (army based stew which includes spam and hotdogs) and the other one was proper kimchi stew flavoured. I think the one that people recommended to you was the kimchi stew one.

      they have pretend under license Japanese products like instant ramen noodles pots etc, but are produced by companies in places like Bulgaria, which don't even remotely have the same fresh quality or complexity of flavour, and aren't at a reasonable price either.

I buy them in bulk. Also udon instant cups. They are not cheap online!! But sooooo good!!
