Daejeon is hosting an event to commemorate the official launch of the “Daejeon Kumdori Ramen.” From May 26 to June 6, participants who join the “Name Guessing Event” on Daejeon’s official social media platforms will have the chance to win a mobile coupon worth 5,000 KRW. A total of 100 winners will be selected through a draw by June 9.
“Daejeon Kumdori Ramen,” featuring local character Kumdori, is the first ramen merchandise of its kind in Korea, available in two flavors: beef and seafood jjambbong. It can be purchased at several locations in Daejeon, including the third floor of Daejeon Station, Kumdori House, Trevel Downji, Shinsegae Department Store’s Daejeon Promotion Center, GS25, and Nonghyup Hanaro Mart. It will also be available on the Daejeon Hometown Love Donation online mall.
Developed through a collaboration between Daejeon City, the Daejeon Tourism Organization, and private companies, Kumdori Ramen embodies the region’s identity and tourism image. It is a product of the “Daejeon Kumdori Character Goods Promotion Project” initiated last year.
Mayor Lee Jang-woo expressed his hope that Kumdori Ramen would become a unique product that combines both taste and fun, allowing citizens and tourists to enjoy and think of Daejeon.
