- As K-ramen gains popularity overseas, spaces where people can experience Korean ramen are emerging, and in Korea, you can try various Korean ramen at the "Ramen Library" in Hongdae and the "NONGSHIM Brand Zone" in Myeongdong.
- The "Ramen Library" in particular sells over 230 types of Korean ramen and has a simple cooking appliance that allows you to boil the ramen immediately, making it a popular tourist destination for foreigners.
- For those who cannot visit Korea, a "Ramen Library" is operated in Dallas, Texas, USA, and you can get information about Korean ramen and visit through the website.
K-ramyun's popularity is no ordinary phenomenon. South Korea's ramyun exports reached a whopping 1.2 trillion won in 2023. This
popularity of K-ramyun has led to the rise of places where people can experience Korean ramyun.
1. Ramyun Library (CU Hongdae Sangsang Store)
BGF Retail
The CU convenience store located in Hongdae is special compared to other branches. Even in the pictures, you can see the
amazing variety of ramyun. It is said that they sell over 230 different kinds of Korean ramyun. This place is said to have
more foreign visitors than Koreans. One of the biggest advantages of this place is that you can find various kinds of
Korean ramyun in one place. There is a simple ramyun cooker installed inside the store where you can boil the ramyun you
bought right away, and there are cup ramyun-shaped tables, making it a perfect place for the name 'Ramyun Library'. Also,
since it is located in a corner within the convenience store, it is also perfect for experiencing other Korean convenience
store foods. I think this place will become a must-visit tourist destination for foreigners in the future.
The Ramyun Library is located in Mapo-gu, Seoul, about 480m from Exit 3 of Hapjeong Station on Seoul Subway Line 2.

2. Myeongdong Nongshim Brand Zone (Lifework Megastore Myeongdong Branch)
NONGSHIM
Nongshim, the strongest player in the Korean ramyun industry and the company behind the birth of Shin Ramyun, has set up a
Nongshim ramyun brand zone in Myeongdong, a popular destination for foreigners. This brand zone, created by the leading brands
in Korean ramyun exports, such as Shin Ramyun, Neoguri, and Chapagetti, allows you to taste a variety of ramyun. Located in a
shopping mall in Myeongdong, this brand zone has a ramyun cooker installed where you can boil the ramyun you bought, just
like the Ramyun Library, so you can enjoy Nongshim's ramyun to your heart's content. While it is a drawback that you can only
buy Nongshim ramyun, you can see a wide variety of ramyun as Nongshim is the best in the Korean ramyun industry. If you are
interested in Nongshim ramyun or like Nongshim ramyun, I recommend visiting this place.
The Myeongdong Nongshim Brand Zone is located in 'Dokkaebi Mart' on the basement floor of the Lifework Megastore Myeongdong
Branch, which is about 50m from Exit 6 of Myeongdong Station.

If you can't visit Korea, you can still experience Korean ramyun in the United States. In Dallas, Texas, there is a 'Ramyun Library' that displays Korean ramyun. This place also allows you to boil and eat a variety of ramyun.

Since this place is in the United States, it is the perfect place for foreigners to get information about Korean
ramyun. If you visit their website, you can check the types, spiciness, and allergy information of Korean ramyun, so it
would be good to decide what kind of ramyun you want to eat in advance and visit.
