Director Yu So-young won the Nongshim Shin Ramyun Award for the film Gongsuni. Nongshim presented the special award to Yu at the Jeonju International Film Festival on May 5. The Nongshim Shin Ramyun Award is given to promising directors among those who entered the Korean Competition section of the festival.

Nongshim has supported the Jeonju International Film Festival for three years. The company began sponsoring the festival in 2024 and has continued the partnership ever since. It has presented the Nongshim Shin Ramyun Award for two consecutive years. Nongshim said the sponsorship reflects its hope that the winner will grow into a master who represents the global stage, much like Shin Ramyun, which has become a global brand.

Nongshim also operated the Shin Ramyun pop-up store, Shin Ramyun Studio, on Jeonju Movie Street during the festival. The pop-up ran from April 29 to May 5 to mark the 40th anniversary of Shin Ramyun's launch. A popular attraction allowed visitors to create their own Shin Ramyun by combining noodles, soup, and toppings.

Nongshim also officially screened the special short films "Before the Ramen Gets Soggy" and "If You Run Out of Ramyun," both based on Shin Ramyun. The company plans to donate about 15 million won in proceeds from the "Make Your Own Shin Ramyun" program to the Jeonju community. The 27th JEONJU International Film Festival runs through May 8 in the Jeonju area.
