On the 14th, the upcoming episode of MBC's variety show 'The Manager' (also known as 'Jeonchamsi') teased the appearance of Kim Nari, the mastermind behind the chewy cookie sensation.
The preview featured Kim Nari, born in 1998, who confidently stated, "I am the creator who designed the original round shape of the chewy cookie."
Reflecting the cookie's popularity, her business is thriving. An employee proudly shared, "Our highest daily sales reached 1.3 billion KRW (approximately $1.1 million)," adding, "We started with a single 9-pyeong (approximately 320 square feet) store, and now we have over 10 locations." The daily sales volume of the chewy cookies ranges from 2,000 to 3,000 pieces.
Kim Nari even brought the original chewy cookies to the studio for the hosts, building anticipation for next week's episode.
Meanwhile, 'The Manager' airs every Saturday at 11:10 PM.
