Nongshim has engaged in both market analysis and international brand expansion. In the first half of 2026, an analysis of point-of-sale data across 25 Seoul districts revealed that Shin Ramyeon was the market leader, ranking first in 15 districts. The data showed that consumption patterns varied by district, with Jjapagetti performing well in family-oriented areas and specialized Shin Ramyeon products leading in tourist-heavy regions.

Building on its brand presence, Nongshim launched the second phase of a global Shin Ramyun campaign featuring the K-pop group aespa as ambassadors. This international rollout across 14 countries utilizes an omnibus-style video format to promote the brand’s ‘Spicy Happiness’ slogan, transitioning from music video-style content to depictions of the group enjoying the product during daily activities.
