“We’re incredibly excited to launch the ‘bibigo™ for it’ campaign, building on the growing appetite we’ve seen across America for Korean flavors.

“Partnering with bibigo on this campaign feels like a full-circle moment for me,” said actor Randall Park. “This project, celebrating Korean food, reminds me vividly of childhood lunches, where opening my home-cooked meals in front of my classmates felt like a vulnerable act. All self-consciousness and fear of judgment I experienced then now stand in stark contrast to the immense pride I feel today. To be able to participate in presenting the flavors of Korean cuisine with the entire nation is a profound opportunity to honor my heritage through dishes I grew up with. I hope all those kids who once judged me can now enjoy these incredible products and see me as the young visionary that I truly was.”
