Design for SHIN, the character created to mark Shin Ramyun's 40th anniversary, has been unveiled. Nongshim introduced its first brand character, SHIN, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Shin Ramyun's launch. The character comes in versions representing both bagged ramen and cup ramen, with its wavy noodles designed as hair.

Character concept reflects product features. The character's backstory reflects the product's key traits. SHIN is said to be so friendly that it can make friends with anyone within Shin Ramyun's cooking time of 4 minutes and 30 seconds. It also connects with consumers around the world through social media and searches for the perfect pairing with Shin Ramyun.
