것What it is
A convenience store, and in Korea a place to eat. The chains put an instant-noodle cooker by the till, the machine behind the 한강 라면, Han River ramyeon, habit: 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 to export the habit.
하는 법How to do it
Buy the noodles, take them to the cooker, scan the barcode on the cup against the reader, press start. Eat at the window counter. The 1+1 sticker means buy one, get one; 2+1 means the third is free.
