Kim', called 'black semiconductor', is so popular around the world that the number of exporting countries doubles.

A gimbap festival was held in Yeouido, Seoul, where you can enjoy laver and marine products in South Jeolla Province, which leads the Korean laver industry.

Now, you can try gimbap using fisheries products from Jeollanam-do.

Many citizens are waiting in a long line to taste various gimbap.

There are many interesting gimbap that I've never seen before, such as mugwort gimbap and kkosirae gimbap.

Here, you can not only taste gimbap but also make it yourself.

Then let's listen to the stories of citizens who enjoy the festival.

[Songriz / Imae-dong, Bundang-gu, Gyeonggi-do: I'm going to make a cat-shaped gimbap. I came to the Gimbap Festival today and found that Jeollanam-do Gimbap was really fun and delicious. I hope there will be more festivals like this in the future.

This festival, which was held for the first time this year, was held to promote the excellence of Jeollanam-do seaweed and various gimbap using marine products in Jeollanam-do worldwide.

In addition to making your own customized kimbap, you can learn the production process of laver that is delivered to our table and experience making laver in the traditional way.

A talk show on the theme of gimbap has been going on for a while now.

A famous gimbap creator's round of gimbap and a foreign chef's story of Jeollanam-do seafood are followed.

In addition, a salt fair using sea salt from Jeollanam-do was held.

There was also a cheerful sports day full of various games such as hula hoop and iron bars played with heavy sea salt.

There is also a flea market where small business owners in Jeollanam-do can participate and a seafood market where you can purchase seaweed and abalone.

The festival will run until tomorrow.

It would be nice to have a happy weekend with food that is leading the globalization of Korean food.
