Mumbai-based Neha Tyagi loves kimchi. The traditional dishes and words have been a part of her vocabulary ever since she joined the Korean wave in 2018. She joined many other Indians, who ended up falling in love with not only K-pop but the whole culture. She explains, “I started watching K-Dramas in 2018 and that is when I got introduced to kimchi and it was followed by the whole Mukbang trend. In K-Dramas, food gets a lot of importance, and the actors are eating on screen. There was kimchi everywhere and it looked scrumptious.”
