[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] CU announced on the 1st that it will exclusively sell Action Gakuen Ramen containing 92 types of Jjanggu collection stickers.


Action Gakuen Ramen is a refrigerated convenience food tonkotsu ramen inspired by the Action Gakuen ramen featured in the popular animation Jjanggu-neun Motmallyeo. It was specially planned for customers seeking nostalgic character products amid the retro trend.


The product contains a special liquid soup made from pork bone broth base, stir-fried seaweed, minced stir-fried pork, green onions, and other abundant toppings. The cooking method is simple enough to complete by pouring hot water over the noodles and microwaving for 2 minutes or lightly boiling like bag noodles. It also includes 92 types of collection stickers featuring images of main characters such as Jjanggu, Maenggu, Yuri, and Hooni.


CU plans to strengthen its lineup of meal kit products, which have recently seen increasing demand, starting with the launch of this Action Gakuen Ramen.



A BGF Retail official said, “Jjanggu Action Gakuen Ramen is a differentiated product to strengthen the rapidly growing meal kit category and includes goods that evoke a desire to collect. We will continue to introduce meal kits that provide a satisfying meal at a reasonable price.”
