Dongwon F&B is a comprehensive food company that has been responsible for the nation’s dining tables by offering a wide range of products, including Korea’s first canned tuna, “Dongwon Tuna,” as well as processed seafood, canned ham, frozen and refrigerated goods, dairy products, health functional foods, and home meal replacements (HMRs).

Building on its management philosophy of “food and medicine are the same origin,” Dongwon F&B has been committed to driving a healthy food culture and delivering even better products to its customers through relentless research and development, as well as investment. Through these efforts, Dongwon F&B has successfully launched its mega-brand products, including Dongwon Tuna, Richam, and Yangban Porridge, and has grown into a leading food company in Korea, achieving the prestigious “4 trillion won sales club” status for four consecutive years from 2022 to 2025.

The company has set a long-term vision of becoming a global food company that makes a positive impact on global human health, and is now aggressively expanding into the global market. Amidst the ongoing K-food craze, the company is focusing on exporting its best-selling Korean flavors, including “yangban kim,” “gochugaru tuna,” and “yangban tteokbokki,” to international markets.

Dongwon F&B made a significant foray into the global market last year by partnering with Jin, a renowned global BTS, as its model for Dongwon Tuna, resulting in a 10% or more year-on-year increase in exports. Notably, the US export volume saw a significant 30% year-on-year growth. To coincide with BTS’s comeback earlier this year, Dongwon F&B launched a campaign called “Super Tuna For You” to showcase the taste and health benefits of Dongwon tuna to global consumers. To participate in the campaign, simply decorate your own custom cans using the stickers included with the Dongwon Tuna and Red Pepper Tuna bundle products, and share a photo of your creations on social media with a relevant hashtag.

This year, marking its 40th anniversary, Yangban Kim is also making a push into the global market. With over 20 years of experience as a master of raw material selection, this expert crafts the finest raw materials, carefully selecting and double-baking them to preserve the ultimate flavor and quality.

“We will continue to drive the spread of K-food through aggressive research and development and securing a strong local distribution network,” said a representative from Dongwon F&B.
