In the freezing winter of 1970, at minus 20°C,
There was a young man riding his bike with rice cakes,
his body freezing and cracked by the cold.
Even as his body froze, his mind was focused solely on one thing:
How can I make better rice cakes with better rice?
That young man was Chairman Lee Neung-Goo—and that was the beginning of Chilkab.
A path no one had taken.
We have never chosen the easy road.
In the late 1970s,
we put everything on the line and dedicated ourselves to
the unfamiliar world of rice processing—
and became the first in Korea to produce rice noodles.
