Recently, after Jennie introduced several snacks from the Korean brand in the US, Nongshim’s stock price skyrocketed. In particular, Jennie introduced Nongshim’s Shrimp Crackers (Sewoo Ggang), Banana Kick, and Orion Goraebab as her favorite snacks, and these products quickly became global trends. Banana Kick, which was highly praised by Jennie, even became a major search term worldwide, attracting the attention of consumers.
In response to this interest, Nongshim strengthened its communication with fans by posting a witty post personifying Banana Kick and Shrimp Crackers on its official SNS on the 19th. The post showed Banana Kick bragging, “I got a solo shot for 5 seconds thanks to Jennie.”

Previously on March 19, Telepictures released a preview of the episode of “Jennifer Hudson Show“ featuring Jennie through YouTube and other online platforms. The show, hosted by renowned singer Jennifer Kate Hudson, has been airing since 2022 and has released 460 episodes across three seasons.
In the 4-minute-9-second preview, Jennie shared three Korean snacks she enjoys: Nongshim Shrimp Crackers, Banana Kick, and Orion Goraebab. She was on the show to promote her recently released full-length solo album.
While introducing Shrimp Crackers and Goraebab, Jennie explained, “These are seafood-based snacks. I’m not sure if there are similar ones in the U.S.” However, she was most excited to talk about Banana Kick, stating, “This is the one I want to talk about the most. It’s my favorite snack. It’s really delicious, and you’ll experience a special banana flavor that’s different from what you might expect.”
