Korean seaweed snack brand gains international recognition for its innovative concept, premium ingredients, and contemporary approach to K-Food
Yongin, South Korea, 22nd Sep 2026 – SO1NE Co. (Legal name: SO1NE Co., Ltd.), an innovative Korean F&B company, announced that its premium seaweed snack brand GIMYUMYUM has been officially selected for SIAL Innovation 2026, one of the key innovation showcases at SIAL Paris.
SIAL Innovation recognizes food and beverage products that demonstrate outstanding innovation and strong market potential. GIMYUMYUM was selected by an independent jury and will be showcased as part of the SIAL Innovation program during SIAL Paris 2026.
GIMYUMYUM was created to bring a fresh and contemporary perspective to one of Korea’s most iconic foods: seaweed. Unlike conventional seasoned seaweed snacks, GIMYUMYUM combines premium Korean roasted seaweed with crispy flavored grains, creating a distinctive combination of taste and texture. The seaweed is roasted without oil, delivering a light and crispy experience while highlighting the natural character of Korean seaweed.
The current lineup features three distinctive flavors: Brown Rice, Spicy Peanut, and Chocolate. Beyond its distinctive taste, seaweed is naturally low in calories and rich in essential nutrients, including dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins, making it an increasingly attractive ingredient for today’s health-conscious consumers. Inspired by Korean traditional patterns and colors, GIMYUMYUM’s packaging also brings a modern K-culture identity to the global snack category.
The SIAL Innovation selection represents an important milestone in GIMYUMYUM’s global expansion. Launched in 2026, GIMYUMYUM is rapidly expanding into international markets, with its first Singapore retail launch scheduled through Sheng Siong, one of Singapore’s major supermarket chains. SO1NE is also actively developing new distribution opportunities worldwide.
“We wanted to present Korean seaweed not simply as a traditional Korean food, but as a modern snack that global consumers can enjoy in an entirely new way,” said Chris So, CEO of SO1NE Co. “Being selected for SIAL Innovation is meaningful recognition of that vision, and we look forward to introducing GIMYUMYUM to more consumers around the world.”
GIMYUMYUM is produced under internationally recognized food safety and quality standards and holds certifications including HACCP, FSSC22000, HALAL, and VEGAN. With its combination of the natural nutritional benefits of Korean seaweed, innovative flavors, and contemporary design, GIMYUMYUM aims to introduce a new generation of Korean seaweed snacks to the global market.
