Nongshim is holding a consumer vote through October 18 on two Shin Ramyun recipes developed with chef Edward Lee for the brand’s 40th anniversary: Cheese & Doenjang and Seafood & Fish Cake. The winner is planned for a late-November launch.
The two candidates
Nongshim says Edward Lee and its researchers developed Shin Ramyun Cheese & Doenjang and Shin Ramyun Seafood & Fish Cake. Online voting runs October 6–18 on Nongshim’s website and official Instagram account.
Tasting vote and launch
A tasting vote at the Shin Ramyun Bunsik pop-up in Seongsu is open to applicants. A separate outside consumer evaluation will also factor into the final choice.
Nongshim plans to launch the selected recipe in late November for limited sale through the first quarter of 2027. Neither candidate is on sale yet.
