Bagis Donates Food to Low-Income Children in Dongnae District

On October 2nd, Bagis (CEO Kim Juseong) donated 1,723 packs of instant Yopokki to the Dongnae district to be delivered to underprivileged children in the area. This donation represents Bagis' ongoing commitment to supporting local communities and helping those in need.

1. Bagis’ Efforts to Support Local Communities

Bagis is an e-commerce company founded by CEO Kim Juseong in July 2019 after completing an online marketing education program by the Korea Small Business Promotion Corporation. Bagis has achieved remarkable success by expanding internationally through initiatives like the ‘Amazon.com entry support project’ by the Busan Economic Promotion Agency. Through this donation, Bagis continues to strengthen its ties with the local community by offering meaningful support to children in need.

2. The Donated Goods: Yopokki and the Taste of Rabokki

The donated items include 1,723 packs of Yopokki, an instant food product that combines the popular Korean food tteokbokki with ramen to create a delicious dish known as Rabokki. Rabokki is beloved for its sweet and spicy flavor, making it a favorite not only in Korea but around the world. This food donation provides both nourishment and comfort to the children, delivering more than just a meal.

3. Words of Appreciation from the District Mayor

Dongnae District Mayor Jang Jun-yong expressed his gratitude, saying, “I would like to sincerely thank Bagis for supporting the underprivileged children in Dongnae. We will ensure that these donated goods are delivered with care to the appropriate welfare facilities in the district.” Through this heartfelt gesture, the mayor recognized the impact this donation will have on the local children.

4. Appreciation from the Child Welfare Center

Choi Hee-ja, Vice President of the Dongnae District Children’s Center Association, also extended her thanks, stating, “We deeply appreciate Bagis' generous donation, and we will do our best to care for the children in the Dongnae area.” The donated Yopokki will be distributed to 18 children's centers and two integrated care centers, ensuring that many children benefit from this act of kindness.

5. Rabokki: More Than Just a Meal

Rabokki, a combination of tteokbokki and ramen, is not just a convenient meal; it’s a beloved staple of Korean food that brings joy to both children and adults alike. The fusion of the chewy rice cakes with ramen noodles soaked in a sweet and spicy sauce makes it a perfect example of the "swicy" (sweet and spicy) flavor that has become so popular. With this donation, Bagis provides not just food, but a cultural experience that warms both hearts and stomachs.

6. Conclusion: Bagis Commitment to Social Responsibility

This food donation by Bagis highlights the company’s ongoing efforts to give back to the community and make a positive impact on the lives of children in need. By donating Tteokbokki, Bagis not only supports underprivileged children but also shares a piece of Korean food culture. We look forward to seeing more such initiatives in the future that strengthen the bonds within the community and provide meaningful support to those who need it most.
