BTS Jungkook is demonstrating his overwhelming influence as his recipes have caused a relay of sold-out cooking items.
In a personal live broadcast on the fan community Weverse on the morning of April 25th, Jungkook cooked his self-developed recipe, using a sauce made from 4 tablespoon perilla oil (cold pressed, 100% pure perilla oil), 2 tablespoon Cham sauce (meat seasoning), 1 tablespoon Buldak sauce, 1 tablespoon Buldak mayo sauce, and 1 egg yolk (white string removed) poured over boiled buckwheat noodles and topped with thinly seasoned dried seaweed flakes.
In addition, Jungkook strongly recommended using seasoned dried seaweed flakes, stating, “You can’t use regular dried seaweed powder! It has to be seasoned dried seaweed flakes! Because seasoned dried seaweed flakes have both salty and sweet tastes.”
As a result, the dried seaweed used by Jungkook has been selling out continuously on the homepage of Korean retailer Coupang, highlighting the powerful “Jungkook effect”, which is so immense that even cooking items are being sold out.
In addition, if one put the name of Jungkook’s recipe on Coupang, ingredients used to cook the dish, such as Cham sauce and Buldak sauce, also appeared.
Meanwhile, on social media platforms such as Twitter, various pictures of people purchasing the dried seaweed used by Jungkook and certification photos of cooking Jungkook’s recipe also emerged.
Since Jungkook revealed his new recipe on April 25th, keywords related to Jungkook including “JUNGKOOK LIVE”, “Jungkookie”, “our Jungkook”, “perilla oil noodles”, “noodle recipe”, “Buldak sauce”, “cold pressed oil”, and “#Jungkook”, have trended in real-time in a total of 155 countries, gaining overwhelming popularity and attention worldwide.
Last month, Jungkook caused an explosive sensation with his recipe for “Bulguri”, a combination of Buldak stir-fried noodles and Neoguri. Soon after, the producer of Neoguri, Nongshim, applied for a trademark for “Bulguri”, drawing attention.
