“Developed with Kimchi Researchers” ... Pulmuone Launches 2027 Kimchi Refrigerator

Available in 168L and 148L models, priced in the 800,000-won range
Both models have a Grade 1 energy efficiency rating
10-year free warranty on inverter compressors

Pulmuone said on October 16 that it had launched the 2027 model of the Pulmuone Kimchi Refrigerator.

The product operates using a ripening algorithm developed at Pulmuone’s research institute in collaboration with kimchi specialists. It controls temperature, humidity, and cold-air circulation during fermentation to help keep kimchi’s flavor and freshness at their best.

The 2027 Pulmuone Kimchi Refrigerator comes in two capacities, 168L and 148L, and both models have a top-tier Grade 1 energy efficiency rating.

The 2027 models feature upgraded customization options for individual users. The 168L model adds a “Soju Slush” mode to its existing Kimchi, Refrigerator, Freezer, Quick Freeze, and Alcohol modes, while the 148L model adds a new “DIY Mode,” which lets consumers adjust the ripening time.

Pulmuone offers a 10-year warranty on the inverter compressors in both products, rather than the statutory minimum of three years.

The products are priced at 899,000 won for the 168L model and 849,000 won for the 148L model. Online, they are available through major online marketplaces, including Pulmuone’s official Naver Smart Store, Shop Pulmuone, Coupang, and Gmarket. The 168L model is also available offline at Electronic Land.

Electronic Land will also host a pop-up to mark the launch. For 10 days, from October 23 through November 1, visitors can see the new 168L kimchi refrigerator and other flagship Pulmuone appliances on the first floor of Electronic Land’s Yongsan store.
