| NBNTV = Jeong Chang-gyu | Starting on the 23rd, Nongshim will exclusively supply 21 varieties of its ramen to the 'Ramen Library' established in the Korean Air Prestige Lounge at Incheon International Airport Terminal 2.

Located in the newly renovated eastern section of the lounge, the Ramen Library is a unique space where visitors can choose from a wide selection of ramen displayed like books on a library shelf and cook them on the spot. In addition to Nongshim's flagship products such as Shin Ramyun, Chapagetti, and Neoguri, the collection features 21 meticulously curated varieties, including 'Shin Ramyun Halal' to accommodate diverse global dietary needs and the vegan 'Soon Ramen.'

Lounge users select their desired product from a dedicated vending machine and cook it themselves using an instant cooker. Various toppings, such as *kimchi*, green onions, and bean sprouts, are also provided, allowing travelers to customize their meals to suit their individual tastes.

Nongshim, which currently provides Shin Ramyun as an in-flight meal for Korean Air, has significantly expanded its touchpoints with global consumers through this collaboration at a lounge that sees more than 1.3 million visitors annually.

A Nongshim official stated, "With the recent K-food craze, the status of ramen within travel spaces like in-flight services and duty-free shops is rising significantly. We hope global travelers can experience the true charm of K-ramen at the lounge before their departure."
