The '2025 Namdo Culinary Culture Forum' in Korea addresses the need for sustainable strategies in K-Food's globalization. Experts caution that the current popularity of K-Food, including spicy dishes like tteokbokki and ramen, may not last without cultural sustainability. Structural reform focusing on philosophy, policy, and industry development is deemed essential. Highlighting the philosophical depth of Korean cuisine, suggestions include focusing on plant-based foods and fermentation. The forum also emphasizes the need for an integrated governance system, including global supply chains for key ingredients. Overall, the discussion points out the urgency of creating a structured approach to K-Food globalization to avoid being a passing trend.
