Nongshim launched its first global Shin Ramyun campaign with aespa last November.
Its music video-style advertisement, featuring aespa’s music and performance, generated
270 million views and helped raise global awareness of Shin Ramyun’s slogan, ‘Spicy
Happiness In Noodles’. For the second campaign, the setting moves from the stage
to everyday life, showing aespa enjoying Shin Ramyun while cooking, shopping, traveling
and spending time together.

**‘Spicy Happiness’ in Everyday Life, from Cooking to Travel**

The main campaign video opens with aespa saying, "To us, spicy is happiness." It
then shows four everyday moments featuring the members and Shin Ramyun in an omnibus-
style format.

Across the video, aespa enjoy Shin Ramyun in a variety of settings. In the "cooking"
scene, the members prepare and share Shin Ramyun with a friend, while the "shopping"
scene follows them picking up Shin Ramyun at a store. In the "travel" scene, the
members enjoy Shin Ramyun with a companion while on a trip.

In the final quiz scene, aespa is asked, "What is another word for happiness?" They
answer "SHIN", playfully bringing the campaign’s "Spicy Happiness" message to life.

Through the video, as Korea’s No. 1 iconic ramyun that embodies the nation’s food
culture, Nongshim aims to show consumers around the world how Shin Ramyun’s signature
spicy taste can add enjoyment to ordinary moments and make time spent together feel
more special.

**Diverse Digital Content Tailored for Global Audiences**

Nongshim will release a total of 15 videos, including one main campaign video and
14 digital shorts. The shorts expand on the everyday moments featured in the main
video through short, upbeat content. They also include interview-style videos in
which aespa members talk about topics such as "when they crave Shin Ramyun" and "
their favorite toppings to enjoy with Shin Ramyun." By naturally showing how the
members enjoy Shin Ramyun in their daily lives and highlighting their individual
preferences, Nongshim aims to communicate the appeal of Shin Ramyun more effectively
to global consumers.

The campaign will first roll out in key markets across North America, Asia and Europe
where Nongshim has overseas operations, before expanding to markets around the world.

aespa said, "We hope fans around the world can find their own moments of ‘Spicy 
Happiness’ with Shin Ramyun too."

A Nongshim representative said, "The second campaign shows global consumers, through
aespa, how Shin Ramyun fits naturally into everyday life. Together with aespa, we
will continue to engage consumers worldwide and communicate the value of Shin Ramyun’s
global slogan, ‘Spicy Happiness In Noodles.’"
