Daesang's Jongga to Make Its Mark at HITC LA 2025
Introduction
Jongga, Daesang's premier global kimchi brand, is poised to capture the attention of culinary enthusiasts and music lovers alike at the
Head in the Clouds: Los Angeles 2025 festival, taking place from
May 31 to June 1 at
Brookside at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. This exciting event, known for its focus on Asian artists and culture, serves as an ideal backdrop for showcasing Jongga's rich flavors and global appeal.
Collaboration with Rokstar Chicken
In an innovative twist, Jongga will partner with
Rokstar Chicken, a popular New York-based eatery, to introduce two delectable kimchi-infused dishes:
- - Jongga Chicken Sandwich: A flavorful crispy chicken sandwich enhanced with Jongga's spicy kimchi.
- - Jongga French Fries: These golden fries are topped with generous servings of Jongga kimchi and a special house sauce, offering a unique comfort food experience.
Both dishes will be available at Rokstar Chicken locations starting in June, providing fans the chance to bring a taste of the festival home.
Festival Activities and Engagement
Festival-goers will have the opportunity to engage with the Jongga brand at their booth through interactive games. One such activity is the
punching game challenge, where participants who score
888 — a nod to 88rising, the festival's hosts — while following Jongga's official Instagram accounts can earn a special Jongga string bag along with samples of the new dishes. This interaction not only enhances the festival experience but also fosters a community around food and culture.
Creative Branding and Design
As part of the aesthetic appeal of their booth, Jongga staff will don attire designed by
VANDYTHEPINK, an emerging streetwear designer. Their custom T-shirts will add a stylish dimension to the booth, perfectly complementing the modern vibe of the festival grounds.
