Samyang Hot Chicken Ramen (Buldak)

Samyang Hot Chicken Ramen, commonly known as Buldak or 'fire noodles,' is a globally recognized brand of Korean instant noodles produced by Samyang Foods. The brand gained immense popularity through viral online challenges.

Manufacturing primarily takes place in South Korea, specifically at Samyang Foods' facilities in Wonju and Miryang. The Miryang plant was specifically built to handle the massive global demand for these spicy noodles.

Starting in 2024 and moving forward into 2026, the brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Samyang Roundsquare group (formerly Samyang Foods Group). The company continues to operate as a leading South Korean food manufacturer, expanding its footprint in international markets through dedicated subsidiaries and distributors.
