Bonchon introduced a new Yangnyeom Sauce, a Korean sweet-spicy condiment made with garlic and soy, paired with expanded group offerings designed to simplify larger orders. The launch included K-Meals To-Go and K-Boxes, both built around shareable wings and sides and featuring the new sauce.
K-Meals To-Go start at $39.99 and are portioned to feed up to 10 people with an assortment of wings, drumsticks and four sides. The K-Box To-Go was offered as a larger bundle—50 wings, 2 lb of fries and five dipping sauces—priced around $82.99 and customizable by flavor.
For consumers, the lineup made Korean-style takeaway more convenient for groups, combining a distinct Yangnyeom flavor profile with scaled packaging that supports gatherings and delivery trends. The limited-time sauce offered a simple way to sample Korean seasoning on a communal scale.
