Kimchi is growing in popularity in the UK.
Since last year, the perception that kimchi is a good food to overcome the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) has begun to spread. The British actor Guinness Pelttro confessed that he was infected with Corona 19, saying, “I changed my diet and adhered to a vegetarian diet, and I found excellent sugar-free kimchi.”

In the UK, an official from the National Health Service (NHS), the control tower for responding to Corona 19, commented that “Paltrow’s diet is not scientific.” It is paradoxical to see how pervasive Paltrow’s comments were.

Kimchi was even treated as a hate food in the 1970s and 1980s in Europe, including the UK. However, it is now an item that can be bought not only at specialty stores selling Korean and Asian foods, but also at major supermarket stores in the UK such as Morrison and Asda.

The media’s interest is also hot.

The BBC posted how to make kimchi on its website. The Times also introduced the experiences of the writers failing to make kimchi. Telegraph mentioned kimchi, recommending foods rich in lactobacilli in an article on 5 ways to help the vaccine work. In addition, he recommended’Kimchi Fried Rice’ as a lunch menu, asking for a stir-fry with rice, eggs, vegetables, peppers and kimchi. The Guardian also proposed a kimchi pancake with rice flour, baking powder, milk and oil. It is also different from the kimchi jeon in Korea. The Daily Mail introduced a sandwich with cheese and kimchi.

In line with this atmosphere, the Korean Embassy in the Republic of Korea received favorable reviews by presenting a book containing kimchi and kimchi recipes to 50 key Korean people.
