CJ CheilJedang Begins Selling Its Dumplings Inside USFK Commissaries
Here is a Korean product that will now be available in USFK commissaries:
CJ CheilJedang has begun selling its new dumpling products inside United States military bases in Korea, where dumplings with Korean meat are prohibited. Personnel there are forced to import from the U.S. in accordance with military regulations, said the country’s major food company, Monday.
CJ has recently released three new vegan dumpling products into the market here. With its latest move, the company said it has acquired more flexibility regarding its shipments to USFK bases which, up until now, had depended solely on Schwan’s Company, its American subsidiary.
CJ on Sunday launched its new Giant Dumpling product with original, japchae and kimchi flavors under Bibigo, the company’s flagship brand for frozen dumplings. Prior to the launch, the company hosted a tasting event for the products at USFK bases for three days starting Friday. One soldier who tasted the japchae-flavored dumplings said that it tasted just like a dumpling that had ground beef in it, according to the company.
The company stacked the products in commissaries of four USFK facilities in Korea. For security reasons, the U.S. military declined to identify which bases have chosen to stock the products. Each product is priced at $6.43.

“They wore masks. They made me eat dumplings. Then they yelled, ‘This is MAGA country’.”
Do they sell razors at the commissary?
What?? Seriously dude, you should stop dropping acid.
In MAGA country, dumplings is what you get.
No Subway for you!
Why is this worthy of a Korea Times article? They sell lots of other Korean products in the commissary, but I didn’t see any articles about that.
“Why is this worthy of a Korea Times article?”
Because CJ CheilJedang paid to be featured in a “news” article…
…as is standard with all of these types of “news” articles.
The more you know, the more you distrust the system.
They’re called “Press Releases”…
“For security reasons, the U.S. military declined to identify which bases have chosen to stock the products.”
North Korea: “Ha! So this is where they are eating the vegan dumplings. We will kill those wussies first.”
@FullAuto, I am sure he has a shaving profile. Many Soldiers have these now adays.
I agree with Setnaffa that CJ and the commissary probably put a press release together and gave it to the Stars & Stripes. It is an easy article to put together for them to fill up space on a slow news day.
Yes, GI, certain demographics have more problems with Pseudofolliculitis barbae than others.
I always had sympathy for those non-Scandinavians…
