Kimchi, a dish that is spicy, salty, fermented cabbage, is a staple in Korean cuisine that we Koreans just can't live without! If you are born in Korea and don't eat kimchi, your family will probably deny your existence and your friends will disown you... or is it the other way around?

All terrible jokes aside, kimchi has been a part of Korean culture for centuries, and if some of us don't eat it daily, we will go into something called 'kimchi withdrawal.' 

Unfortunately, not everyone is convinced by kimchi's charms. Maybe it's the sour way it smells or the way it looks and tastes, which can definitely throw first-timers off. 

YouTube channel 'FineBros' uploaded a reaction video of kids trying kimchi for the first time, and though more than half of them liked the taste and recommended it, some couldn't even chew it all the way and spat it back out. Most of the children described kimchi as the Korean version of pickles and said that since it's just a vegetable, there is nothing bad about it. 

You can't resist the power of the kimchi!
