Cardi B Can’t Get Enough of Korean Food — From Buldak Noodles to Her “Skinny Legend” Health Item

“I Feel Less Tired After This.” Cardi B took to her Tik Tok page to approve of this K-Health trend: Red Ginseng. The video has now surpassed 1 million views, sparking global buzz around Korean red ginseng.

As K-pop and Korean streaming content continue their global rise, international curiosity has turned toward all things Korean—especially food, beauty, and daily wellness routines. Among the global celebrities embracing Korean culture, one name stands out: American rapper Cardi B.

Known for her love of Korean food and culture, Cardi B recently took that affection a step further—by falling for Korea’s red ginseng. The superstar uploaded a TikTok video reviewing red ginseng products, which quickly racked up over 1 million views, igniting widespread interest in Korean wellness products around the world.

In the video, Cardi B personally samples CheongKwanJang’s ‘Everytime’ and ‘Everytime Lemon’ products, both of which are popular Korean red ginseng supplements.

She shared, “I’ve been really sleepy and exhausted lately, especially after giving birth and going on tour. But after trying this Korean red ginseng, I feel wide awake—like it really works!”

Her glowing review has triggered a wave of enthusiasm across social media and online communities in the U.S., with comments like “If Cardi B loves it, I need to try it!” flooding in.

With a global superstar endorsing it as her go-to health supplement, many now anticipate a K-red ginseng boom in the U.S.. It seems Korea’s wellness wave is just getting started!

The Global Rise of K-Food and K-Health

This isn't the first time the rapper has openly shared her love for Korean food and culture. More recently, the hype reached a new level when global rap sensation Cardi B joined in on the trend. Taking to her personal TikTok account, Cardi shared her first-ever experience cooking and tasting the famously spicy Buldak Ramen.

Her candid, step-by-step video—complete with her reactions and commentary—sparked instant buzz among fans, many of whom were curious to see how the fiery Korean dish would fare with the rap queen’s palate. Cardi’s video quickly gained traction, adding yet another star-powered boost to the ever-growing international love for Korean noodles.

Cultural touchpoints like the iconic “Jjapaguri” (a mix of Chapagetti and Neoguri) scene in the Oscar-winning film Parasite and BTS’s Jungkook revealing his personal Buldak ramen recipe have helped catapult Korean instant noodles into the global culinary spotlight. These moments didn’t just highlight K-ramen as comfort food—they transformed it into a pop culture phenomenon.
