Shin Ramyun Draws Inspiration from K-Pop Demon Hunters
The limited-edition Shin Ramyun inspired by K-Pop Demon Hunters introduces a collectible snack line blending pop culture and food. The collaboration features themed instant noodles, shrimp crackers, and a spicy sauce, all decorated with artwork of Rumi, Mira, Zoey, the Saja Boys rivals, and the playful mascot Derpy. Fans originally noticed a similarity between the fictional noodles in the film and the real-life brand, which sparked this special crossover. The packaging captures the animated style while tying the snacks directly to the film’s popular characters.
Launching in late August, the collection will be available across Korea, North America, Europe, Oceania, Southeast Asia, and Mexico. Exclusive film-accurate cups are being released only in Korea, while limited global preorders opened for 1,000 sets through the official store. The collaboration turns a cinematic detail into a real-world experience, giving fans a chance to enjoy their favorite story in an entirely new way.
