Chairman Shin Chun-ho, founder of Nongshim, who created products representing the domestic food industry, such as Shin Ramyun, Raccoon Dog, and Shrimp Cracker, died at the age of 92.
Founded Lotte Industries in 1965 and set foot in the ramen business for the first time, he overtook Samyang, the undisputed leader, by hitting the raccoon dog with the udon concept, the first Jajang ramen chapaghetti, and Shin Ramyun made after his last name from the 1980s I even got the nickname of’King’.
Since then,’Chapaguri’, which appeared in the movie Parasite, attracted worldwide attention, and as singer Rain’s song’Kang’ ran in reverse, snack products such as Shrimp Cracker and Potato Cracker became popular.
Based on this, Nongshim recorded a consolidated sales of 2.6 trillion won and an operating profit of 160 billion won, the highest ever since its inception last year.
He was a successful businessman, but his relationship with his late brother Gyeong-ho Shin, honorary chairman of Lotte Group, was a stubborn thing.
Originally, we worked with affiliates of the Lotte Group, but when the ramen business was promoted, which was opposed by the honorary chairman Shin, the relationship broke apart. Eventually, the relationship has not been restored.
Chairman Shin officially withdrew from management without being re-elected as an executive director at the general shareholders’ meeting on the 25th, two days before his death, and Vice Chairman Shin Dong-won, the eldest son of the deceased, is expected to rise to the next chairman.
Chairman Shin’s funeral home is Room 1 of the funeral hall of Seoul National University Hospital, and the origin is 5 am on the 30th.
