Notably, this product was developed through collaboration between Nongshim, the Singapore Tourism Board, and travel YouTuber 'Nomad Shun.'

Convenience store CU, operated by BGF Retail, is re-releasing the 'ㅇㄱㄹㅇ ㅂㅂㅂㄱ (Igeoreal Banbakbulga)' dessert cake series after 6 years. In 2018, CU used popular school slang at the time, naming the chocolate fresh cream cake 'ㅇㅇㄱㄹ ㅂㅂㅂㄱ (Igeoreal Banbakbulga)' and the follow-up cookie and cream cake 'ㅇㅈ? ㅇㅇㅈ (Injeong? Eoinjeong),' which attracted attention. The product surpassed 1 million units sold within 3 months of release, tripling dessert category sales at that time. CU will launch the Igeoreal dessert series with the same product names, flavors, and weights on the 10th. The two products are priced at 3,300 KRW each.
