In 1986 Shin Ramyun first made its debut, and quickly rose to become the most popular ramyun in Korea. Year after year and decade after decade, Shin Ramyun's unique spicy flavor ensured its place on top in the hearts of Korea's ramyun lovers. 25 years later Nongshim released Shin Ramyun Black to commemorate 25 years since the inception of Shin Ramyun. Developing the product had taken three years of listening to customer input and researching foods to address consumers' wants and needs in taste, convenience, and nutrition.
