U.S. Trader Joe's Kimbap is all the rage, but many analysts believe it's due to the popularity of Korean food itself.

More and more people are taking interest in K-food following the rise of K-culture and the sales related to K-food is also on the rise.

There are two main reasons for this: 1) a healthy image due to the high percentage of vegetables (+ appealing to vegetarians) and 2) being the last country to be recognized among major countries (it feels new!).
