미국·프랑스·중동까지 휩쓴 메로나… 실패할 뻔한 메로나가 세계 1등이 된 반전 스토리

A single 500-won ice cream is the fastest item to empty a Costco freezer in the U.S. Breaking through all the flashy premium brands. But there is an even more shocking fact. This ice cream was actually not made with melon. In fact, it was a product on the verge of failure, with the developers hesitating to launch it at first, saying, "This will absolutely never sell." That single green stick has now conquered over 60 countries around the world. Beyond the U.S., it has reached France and even the wealthy nations of the Middle Eastern deserts. Last year, annual exports surpassed 170 billion won for the first time in history. What on earth made this small ice cream the world's number one? How did a product on the verge of failure penetrate every Costco store in the U.S.? And how did it overcome the impenetrable barriers of strict European markets? The real reason why a mere 500 won product conquered the world while all the flashy things failed. Watch the video now to see the full story of this unexpected turn of events. #Melona #Binggrae #KISCream #Costco #KoreanManufacturing #Export #Hallyu #KFood #IceCream #SuccessStory #MelonFlavor #KoreanMelonFlavor #GlobalCompany #DomesticIceCream #BringMeMelona 📚 List of Sources Referenced When Writing the Manuscript Excluding Namuwiki, this manuscript was written based on materials from media outlets and public institutions with clear sources.
