- Two Kimchi Ramyun Varieties Now Available Across Canada
- Not just Kimchi flavor, Real Kimchi inside

SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Daesang's leading Korean food brand O'food has launched two Kimchi Ramyun products at Costco and Loblaws in Canada.

The newly introduced lineup includes 'Real Kimchi Ramyun Noodle Soup' featuring a spicy soup base enriched with Kimchi, and 'Real Fiery Kimchi Stir-fried Ramyun', a bold stir-fried noodle dish made with gochujang for an extra kick. Instead of using dried flakes commonly found in conventional Ramyun, both products are made with fresh Kimchi from Jongga, Korea's No.1* Kimchi brand, delivering a crisp texture and deep fermented flavor.

'Real Kimchi Ramyun Noodle Soup' is a soup-style Ramyun generously packed with Jongga Kimchi, capturing the refreshing and hearty spiciness characteristic of Kimchi-inspired broths. The savory soup delivers a rich flavor reminiscent of Korean Kimchi stew, while carefully balanced acidity and aroma ensure broad appeal for a wide range of consumers.

'Real Fiery Kimchi Stir-fried Ramyun' combines Jongga Kimchi with O'food gochujang and aged habanero sauce, creating a harmonious blend of intense heat and sweet-tangy notes. Its crunchy Kimchi texture and clean, lingering spiciness make it an appealing choice for consumers seeking a distinctive spicy Ramyun experience.

The two O'food Kimchi Ramyun products are currently available at major Canadian retailers, including Costco and Loblaws. They are also sold in major U.S. retail channels such as Costco, Kroger, H Mart, H-E-B, Albertsons, and Amazon.

Alongside the product launch, O'food is rolling out a range of local marketing initiatives in Canada to strengthen brand awareness. These include campaigns through local media outlets and outdoor advertising, as well as planned participation in events at major Canadian universities and K-Food festivals, where consumers will have opportunities to sample the products and engage directly with the brand.

"Our two new Kimchi Ramyun products are distinguished by the use of real Kimchi, which delivers a crunchy texture and rich fermented flavor," said Seungin Jung, Head of Global Discovery Business Organization at Daesang. "We will continue expanding our distribution channels so that Canadian consumers can enjoy Korean-style Kimchi Ramyun more easily and conveniently at nearby retailers such as Costco and Loblaws."

GUANGZHOU, China, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The global momentum of the AION UT continued to build in May 2026, with monthly sales reaching 3,331 units – a 60% increase month-on-month – making it the fastest-growing Chinese-brand electric hatchback in its segment.

Since its global debut in 2025, the AION UT has rapidly expanded across Southeast Asia, South America, Oceania, and Europe. From Thailand and Indonesia to Singapore and Uruguay, from Australia to Milan, its global footprint has steadily grown in just over a year, with the model consistently ranking among the top sellers in multiple markets.

This success is rooted in exceptional product strength. Designed by GAC's Milan Design Center, the AION UT combines Digital Magic Cube aesthetics with a stylish fastback silhouette that defines a new trendsetting identity. Its class-leading 2,750mm wheelbase delivers spacious interior room, while the Magazine Battery 2.0 technology maintains an impeccable "Zero-Spontaneous-Combustion" safety record. With 24‑minute fast charging and V2L functionality, the UT covers all usage scenarios from urban commuting to outdoor adventures. These all-around capabilities have earned it prestigious accolades including "The Most Valuable EV Award" at the Bangkok International Motor Show, "Best Compact Electric Vehicle Award" at Mexico and "BEST SUBCOMPACT HATCHBACK 5 Dr.EV" at Thailand's CAR OF THE YEAR 2026, along with widespread praise from global media and customers.

Beyond product excellence, the AION UT has made its mark through cross-industry collaborations in sports and entertainment. Partnering with football star Luis Suárez and Hong Kong singer Vic Teo, among others, the UT has deepened its connection with younger users, reinforcing its positioning as a global trendsetter and cementing its reputation as a "Chinese global bestseller."

The rapid rise of the AION UT carries significant strategic weight, reflecting the accelerated rollout of GAC's "One GAC 2.0" strategy. From product exports to full ecosystem globalization, the UT is driving Chinese high-quality new energy vehicles onto the world stage. As GAC approaches the major milestone of its 30-millionth vehicle rollout, the AION UT – as the fastest-growing model – adds a powerful chapter to GAC's globalization journey.
