This event was organized to create an opportunity for national grand integration by gathering ingredients from across the country (such as Paju cabbage, Uiseong garlic, and Goesan red pepper powder) from 243 local governments nationwide and the Committee for the Five Northern Provinces to make kimchi together. It was held simultaneously not only at KINTEX but also at 17 local sites across the country.
