"About to Explode," "Kimchi Grenade"... Video Sparks Concerns

First, many foreigners these days truly love kimchi and even make it themselves, but a video posted by one foreigner has reportedly sparked a wave of worry.

Recently, a foreigner uploaded a video on their social media, showing homemade kimchi being fermented in a glass jar.

In the video, bubbles continuously rise inside the jar.

The uploader showed off the sight and sound of kimchi that had been successfully fermented for 2.5 days, boasting a fizzy sensation that is hard to find in store-bought kimchi.

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

Reactions poured in warning that "the jar is about to explode," "it needs to be changed to a plastic container," and "it could become a kimchi grenade."

In fact, because kimchi generates gas during the fermentation process, the pressure inside a sealed container can increase.

In response, the uploader 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.
