Ahead of this year's kimchi season, cabbage prices are rising due to poor production of cabbage, so people flock to discount events for kimchi ingredients from dawn.



In the middle of this month, the sales of cabbage at large marts increased by up to 1.6 times compared to the same period last year.



Kimchi ingredients such as radishes and green onions also sold 30-50% more.

Unlike last year, the number of households who want to make kimchi as many people as possible has increased.



However, the cost of kimchi, which is as expensive as the rising cost of ingredients in all directions, is burdensome.
