Museum Kimchikan, the kimchi museum operated by food company Pulmuone, said on October 6 that it will hold a free “2030 Kimchi School — Refrigerator Reset Project” on October 24 and 31 for adults aged 20 to 39. Maeil Business also carried a photo item announcing the free kimchi school for the same age group. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
The program runs four times in total, twice a day at 10:00 and 13:30, with 12 people per session and 48 places overall, according to ZDNet Korea and Asia Economy. Each session lasts two hours: ZDNet Korea reported a 30-minute docent-led tour of the museum covering kimchi and kimjang culture, followed by 90 minutes of cooking. [ 1 , 2 ]
Participants make three dishes — mixed vegetable pickles, cabbage kimchi and kimchi gochujang pasta — working through methods for storing leftover vegetables as pickles and then using kimchi in other dishes. ZDNet Korea reported that this year the program focuses on helping single-person households and people living alone use up leftover ingredients. [ 1 , 2 ]
Participation is free. Reservations open October 7 at 2 p.m. on the Museum Kimchikan website on a first-come basis, with up to two people per booking. According to ZDNet Korea, five participants who post reviews with photos on social media will be drawn to receive coffee coupons, and participants who bring a container of at least 1.5 litres to hold the cabbage kimchi will receive a reusable water bottle.

Museum Kimchikan has run the program every autumn since 2023, according to ZDNet Korea. The museum is operated by Pulmuone and reopened under its current name in 2015 in Insadong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, where it introduces the origins and types of kimchi and kimjang culture. [ 1 ]
“We planned it so that the 2030 generation can learn how to reduce food waste while making kimchi and dishes with ingredients they are familiar with,” team head Na Kyung-in said, adding that the museum plans to expand programs that let different generations enjoy kimchi and kimjang culture and practice sustainable eating.

Por qué importa
The event is a company-run cultural and consumer program rather than a policy or market development, so its direct effect is limited to the 48 people who can register. It shows a food company using its kimchi museum to reach younger consumers and to tie kimjang culture to a food-waste reduction message. The museum says it plans to expand such programs, though the documents give no scale or dates.
