Kazakhstan, the most prosperous nation in Central Asia, sends many tourists to Korea, and they happen to love Korean Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup). Since it is a country with a well-developed livestock industry, high-quality lamb and other meats are abundant. However, because they do not have a Samgyetang culture, they show great interest in and affection for Korean Samgyetang. It is a pity that Samgyetang has not yet spread widely across the globe.

I have rarely met anyone who dislikes Samgyetang. Regardless of nationality, religion, age, or gender, Samgyetang enjoys high popularity. In particular, the 'Mung Bean Samgyetang' (Nokdu-samgyetang) that I developed is said to be a real delicacy. Many foreign travelers tell me, "You should create a separate brand called 'Cherry Garden Mung Bean Samgyetang'." Some jokingly say, "If you create a Samgyetang brand, I want to start a business with it in my own country." I wish I had ten bodies.
