from Money Matters with Hongbin Jeong and Chua Tian Tian · host MONEY FM 89.3

Aside from Dubai chocolate, what is Korea’s newest global craze now? On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Alexandra Parada dive into the surprising rise of Korean gim, the humble dried seaweed snack that’s suddenly become a worldwide obsession. Once an affordable staple in Korean households, gim is now flying off supermarket shelves overseas, pushing prices up so quickly that even longtime vendors in Korea can’t believe what they’re seeing. And in China, one family has taken togetherness to a whole new level by building their very own 15-storey condominium to house more than 100 relatives under one roof.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
