Woowa Brothers held the 12th Baemin Friends inauguration ceremony on the 11th at the Baemin Academy Seoul Center located in Songpa-gu, Seoul. The event was attended by 20 business owners who were selected through a competitive selection process with a ratio of 5.5 to 1, as well as Kwon Yongkyu, Head of Baemin Academy at Woowa Brothers. A lecture was also delivered by a member of the previous (11th) class.

Baemin Friends is a community of Baemin partner merchants who have completed training at Baemin Academy. It was designed to encourage mutual growth by sharing business know-how and experiences. Each class operates for five to six months. Including the current class, a total of 185 restaurant owners have participated in Baemin Friends so far.

The 12th class plans to hold activities such as "Business Speech," where members give lectures to share know-how with fellow business owners, "Store Visits" for peer benchmarking, study group meetings, performance presentations, and volunteer work.

Kim Changhwan, owner of Bunsik Factory Rose Tteokbokki Siji Gyeongsan branch, who is participating as a member of the 12th class, said, "I hope to grow further by sharing concerns and improvement experiences from the field through Baemin Friends, and by learning about other owners’ management styles." Yoo Seunggyun, owner of Sinmyohan Dakdoritang Mokpo branch, said, "Through Baemin Store Growth Consulting, I experienced 300% growth, and it made me realize once again the importance of education in the restaurant business."

Kwon Yongkyu, Head of Baemin Academy, stated, "Baemin Friends, which was established to share the success formulas of earlier partner merchants and to foster a virtuous cycle of growth within the foodservice industry, has now reached its 12th class. We will go beyond one-way training to become a voluntary growth community where owners learn from each other and put lessons into practice, and we are committed to supporting this with sincerity and dedication."
