However, things are quite the opposite nowadays. If someone mentions eating kimchi, they're seen as someone who cares a lot about their health.
This shift makes sense because kimchi has been recognized as a superfood, which I believe has significantly changed people's perception of it. Moreover, as South Korea's GDP has risen to stand shoulder to shoulder with that of developed countries, I think the status of kimchi has also been elevated.
