The Triangular Kimbap Character: Kim Yi-eun

The character Kim Yi-eun, with a triangular kimbap head and brave eyebrows, was created to stand out in a market filled with cute animal characters.

The unique concept of a food character, specifically a rice ball, was inspired by the lack of such characters in Korea's convenience stores.

Kim Yi-eun's journey in the human world is filled with challenges, as she gathers the courage to search for her scattered food friends and ultimately slaps a human who mistook her for food.

Samgyeopsal's rise to fame began with the owner's struggle to find their path and taking a leap of faith by attending a character fair.

The owner's determination and targeted approach led to a meaningful connection with a major convenience store brand.

Despite initial luck and confidence, the journey was filled with challenges and fears, highlighting the importance of collaboration with a big company for Samgyeopsal's public recognition.

Struggles with Collaboration and Identity

Collaboration has made me fearful and anxious, gradually diminishing my sense of self.

Despite gaining recognition, I felt trapped in overthinking and questioning my decisions.

The struggle to maintain my identity and authenticity led to a state of avoidance and confusion, until I was reminded of the determination I had when I first created Kim Mi.

The character's journey is about becoming globally impactful and overcoming personal weaknesses.

The determination to prioritize self-growth and nurture affection for Samgi is a key focus.

Despite feeling scared and judged, the character is committed to overcoming fears and using them as a trigger to pursue their dreams.

Overcoming Challenges and Embracing Change

The speaker has become stronger and more resilient through their experiences, viewing Sammi as a life companion.

They are actively working to overcome cultural and linguistic barriers to connect with friends overseas and are committed to appearing more often to engage with fans.

The speaker has collaborated with Sebasi to create T-shirts and hoodies, promoting the message of courage and moving forward in life.
