bro, i'm korean, and i forgot the last time i ate instant noodles from korea. those shits give you ibs and run a train through your gut, practically genociding all the good gut bacteria that actually breaks food down into energy. i don't eat half the shit i see that comes from korea because a lot of it is "fake food" or at least super processed.
actual traditional korean food is medicine for the heart, mind, body, and soul because even modern recipes incorporate a lot of fake stuff. it's probably a tradition of the korean war made custom after america dumped all their "special and exotic" american rations here, like spam.
do you understand, now?
