것The deal

A convenience store, and in Korea a place to eat. The chains keep an instant-noodle cooker by the till. That machine is what 한강 라면, Han River ramyeon, runs on. CU's instant-ramyeon sales rose 78 percent in 2024 and 88 percent in 2025, and the chain has shipped the cookers to its stores in Kazakhstan.

하는 법How to

Buy the cup, carry it to the cooker, hold the barcode on the cup to the reader and press start. Eat at the window counter. A 1+1 sticker means buy one, get one; 2+1 means the third is free.
