📺 Famous Scene
Woo Young-woo & Her Gimbap
In 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo', the protagonist Woo Young-woo (Park Eun-bin) is a genius lawyer on the autism spectrum. Due to her fixation on specific foods, she eats Gimbap in every episode. During the drama's airing (Summer 2022), GS25 and CU convenience store Gimbap would sell out by the morning, leading convenience stores to urgently increase their production.
Gimbap vs. Sushi, what's the difference?
Gimbap and Japanese Maki look similar, but they are completely different dishes. While sushi uses vinegared rice and raw fish, Gimbap is made with rice seasoned with sesame oil and salt, and includes fully cooked ingredients like spinach, pickled radish (danmuji), carrots, rolled omelet, and beef, having evolved as a lunchbox meal. A major advantage of Gimbap is that it can be safely eaten at room temperature.
