Celebrating One Year of Success in the US Market
Walkerhill Hotel Kimchi has officially marked its remarkable one-year anniversary of US exports by hosting a series of successful tasting events across Los Angeles and Orange County from September 17 to 20, 2026. Representatives from Walkerhill Hotels & Resorts, including Kimchi Chef Kim Jae-hak and Kimchi Distribution Manager Lee Yong-hyuk, showcased five signature varieties—including the renowned premium brand ‘SUPEX Kimchi’—at four major Korean-American supermarkets: Hannam Chain in LA and Fullerton, Galleria Market in LA, and Zion Market in Irvine.
Rapid Growth and Korean-American Community Reception
Since making its initial US market debut in September with approximately 7 tons of exported kimchi, Walkerhill has achieved a phenomenal milestone, recording a cumulative export volume of approximately 82 tons over the past year. Local Korean-American shoppers and food enthusiasts gathered at the event venues to taste the authentic flavors, celebrating the continued global expansion of South Korea’s premier culinary heritage directly provided by Walkerhill Hotels & Resorts.
