"Those Destined to Meet Cross Paths Even in the Military"…Senior Officer Ham Young-jun Gladly Fulfills Baek Jong-won's Request
[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Hee-eun Park] Ottogi Chairman Ham Young-jun accepted the proposal from 'military junior' Baek Jong-won.
On the 11th, SBS's "Delicious Rendezvous" featured Baek Jong-won, Yang Se-hyung, Kim Hee-chul, Kim Dong-jun, and Park Jae-beom working to revive Wando's seafood kelp.
Wando kelp had 2,000 tons of stock piled up, equivalent to two years' worth. Baek Jong-won inspected the kelp and commented, "The condition is good." The farm owner expressed regret, saying, "There aren't many dishes that can be made with kelp."
The next day, Baek Jong-won and the members compared regular ramen with kelp ramen. The members praised the ramen cooked with kelp, saying, "The broth tastes different from the start."
Baek Jong-won said, "It would be great if kelp were added to regular ramen. How about asking a ramen company to develop kelp ramen?" and made a phone call. The person who answered was Ottogi Chairman Ham Young-jun.
Baek Jong-won conveyed Yang Se-hyung's wish for ample kelp in the ramen, saying, "After cooking the ramen, the one with kelp was much tastier," and added, "We need to harvest kelp this year, but there is still a lot of stock left. Wouldn't it be possible to add kelp to ramen?"
Chairman Ham Young-jun responded, "We already have ramen with kelp. We'll try making it with double the amount of kelp," and accepted the proposal, saying, "Since it’s already on sale, we’ll work hard to sell it." He also encouraged Baek Jong-won, saying, "You do a lot of good things."
