Indian travelers who had visited Cherry Garden in Insadong, Seoul, reportedly cheered in delight when they accidentally spotted the Cherry Garden logo while traveling to Haeundae, Busan. I also remember seeing them last week at the Insadong branch. "We thoroughly enjoyed the mung bean samgyetang at the Insadong branch, so we dashed in wondering if the Busan branch might have samgyetang too," they said. Indians also love samgyetang very much.

While India has many Hindu followers, there are also many people who require halal food. Home to 1.5 billion people as the world's most populous nation, India's market for Korean samgyetang is also vast. If I had ten bodies, I would love to expand into India and run a mung bean samgyetang business. However, due to distance and other practical challenges, it is not easy. Instead, I should teach Indian international students so they can help the brand expand there.
