A child makes and eats ”Kimbap” by himself for lunch... Why is it such a big hit? = Korean report

A video of a child wrapping rice in seaweed and making and eating "kimbap (seaweed roll)" has become popular.
The video, titled "Making Kimbap in a New York City Classroom," was uploaded. The video is a corner showcasing the lunch boxes made by children living in New York City, USA, and is not only popular in the US, but also in Korea, India, and other countries.
The photos show children of various nationalities, including the United States, the UK, and the Dominican Republic, eating their lunches. New York City said, "Children learn more about the world by looking at their friends' lunches."
Avery, who appeared in the video, revealed her lunch box, saying, "My mother prepared rice, seaweed, and foil for me." The lunch box contains seasoned seaweed, foil, and rice.
Avery spread foil on the table, put seaweed and rice on it, rolled it up, and started eating. When asked why she likes kimbap, Avery replied, "Because it's healthy and delicious."
" The video has been viewed over 7 million times, and is still hugely popular even after eight months since its release. In particular, Koreans have been commenting on Avery's kimbap video, expressing their past memories.
Netizens responded with comments such as, "My mother used to feed me kimbap every day before going to school," "It's a flavor that both adults and children like," and "I remember bringing my lunch here when I was little."
Foreigners commented, "It's useful to see what children of various nationalities are eating," and "It seems like there's a lot of really delicious food in Korea."
Meanwhile, the export value of Korean food, including ramen, frozen kimbap, and kimchi, from January to last month was $3.12 billion. This is 6.2% up from the same period last year.
The increase was 1.2% and the largest export volume from January to April onwards. However, the retail price of seaweed, which was below 100 won per sheet at the beginning of the year, has continued to rise, reaching 130 won last week.
According to price information from the Korea Agro-Fisheries and Food Trade Corporation, the average retail price of 10 sheets of dried seaweed was 1,304 won on the 26th.
The average retail price of 10 sheets of dried seaweed has increased by 29% compared to a year ago (1,012 won). This is due to an increase in supply.
However, it is analyzed that this is because exports have increased even more and supply is unable to keep up with demand.
