It has been a tradition of Koreans to make kimchi at homes in every November, regarding it as an important affair of a year.

In recent years, vegetable greenhouses were built in different parts of the country and a new change was also witnessed in the way of making kimchi.

Kimchi-making contest and show are often held to disseminate the relevant knowledge and technique to citizens.

The Korean nation's custom of making kimchi was registered as a world intangible cultural heritage at the 10th Session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of the UNESCO last year.
