After being in Korea for a couple of months as an exchange student, I still hadn’t fully adjusted to the food. Don’t get me wrong—I loved most of it—but the spicy stuff? Yeah, that was a whole different story. Then one day, a friend handed me a pack of ramen, saying, “This one’s not as spicy. You should be fine.” It was Jin Ramen. I’d heard all about Korean ramen, but honestly, I was kind of scared to try it because of the whole setting-your-mouth-on-fire thing.
But then I looked at the package and stopped in my tracks. BTS’s Jin was right there, smiling at me from the cover. Now, I’m not super into BTS, but my girlfriend back home? She’s literally their biggest fan, especially when it comes to Jin. I remembered her freaking out over this ramen once, saying she had to try it because Jin was promoting it. Suddenly, I had an idea—what if I ate this and then bragged to her about it? I could already picture her reaction.
So, I started cooking the ramen, and as soon as the water started boiling and the noodles hit the pot, this incredible smell filled the air. I was starting to get a little more hyped. The broth turned a deep red, and it honestly looked kinda intimidating, but hey, I was committed. Carefully, I took a sip of the broth, fully expecting to regret my life choices.
But guess what? It wasn’t bad at all! Sure, it was spicy, but in that just-right way that made it fun to eat, not painful. I was actually enjoying it. The broth had this rich, savory flavor, and the noodles were nice and chewy. Honestly, I was impressed. I thought, “Okay, this is actually doable. Maybe I’m tougher than I thought.”
After polishing off the whole bowl, I grabbed my phone and immediately texted my girlfriend. “Guess who just had Jin Ramen?” I typed, feeling all smug. She replied in seconds, like I knew she would. “NO WAY. THE JIN RAMEN? How was it? Tell me everything!” She was already geeking out.
I laughed and told her, “Not gonna lie, it wasn’t as spicy as I expected. Even I could handle it, and you know me! The broth was amazing, and the noodles were perfect.” She replied with, “Ugh, I’m so jealous! I’ve been dying to try that!”
That’s when I remembered the other thing I needed to tell her. So, while I was buying the ramen, I found out that Famigo was selling it for 70% off. Like, what?! I knew she’d freak out over that. “By the way, you can get it on Famigo for 70% off right now,” I texted her. Her reply came instantly: “Are you serious? That’s insane! I’m ordering it right now!”
As I sat there, feeling pretty proud of myself for discovering such a good deal, I couldn’t help but think how random and fun life in Korea had become. Little things like this—getting to connect with my girlfriend over some ramen and scoring major discounts—were making my exchange experience way more awesome.
So yeah, now that I’ve survived my first bowl of Jin Ramen, I feel like I can take on more of Korea’s spicier dishes. Jin Ramen’s definitely made its way onto my list of favorite things here, and thanks to Famigo, I’m living that broke-student life but with way more flavor.
