BULDAK BRINGS THE HEAT TO THE U.S. WITH NEW "SPLASH BULDAK" CAMPAIGN

Fiery fun will hit the streets of New York and Los Angeles this Fall season

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- For American fans of Buldak – the world's most viral instant noodles – there is a new way to get that one-of-a-kind spicy fix – with a splash of Buldak Hot Sauce! This October and November, spice warriors in New York, NY, and Los Angeles, CA, will have the opportunity to try Buldak Hot Sauce with anything and everything, with fun-filled sampling events taking place in each city as part of the new "Splash Buldak" global campaign.

As the popularity of Buldak Noodles skyrocketed worldwide – thanks to passionate fans on social media – foodies have come to appreciate that what makes Buldak so craveable is its signature Buldak Hot Chicken Flavor Sauce. That special sauce (literally) is now available on its own in 7.05 oz bottles and Buldak Sauce Sticks, individually wrapped packets to take on-the-go.

To show the world that Buldak is much more than instant noodles, the brand launched a new global campaign, "Splash Buldak," encouraging spice adventurers to add a splash of Buldak to any dish. Buldak is bringing the fire to major cities around the world, including New York and Los Angeles in the U.S., engaging with fans with limited-time pop-ups and meet-and-greets with their charismatic hot chicken mascot, Hochi.
