"It Looks Like It's Going to Explode" and "Kimchi Grenade"... Video Sparks Concerns

[Anchor] Foreigners these days really love Kimchi, and many even make it themselves. But a video posted by a foreign netizen has sparked widespread concern, right?

[Reporter] Recently, a foreigner posted a video on social media showing homemade kimchi being fermented in a glass jar.

Looking at the video, bubbles continuously rise inside the jar.

The creator proudly shared that it was the sight and sound of kimchi successfully fermented for 2.5 days, boasting a carbonated sensation hard to find in store-bought kimchi.

The video went viral with over 5 million views, but netizens' attention turned elsewhere.

Reactions poured in warning that "the jar looks like it's going to explode," "you need to change it to a plastic container," and "it could become a kimchi grenade."

Indeed, because kimchi generates gas during the fermentation process, pressure inside a sealed container can build up.

In response, the creator reassured netizens by explaining that they release the gas every day, sometimes multiple times a day, and later shared an update a few days later saying it turned out to be one of the best batches of kimchi they had ever made.
