In the next day, he had a fear as his body was full of the pepper sauce flavour.
BYJ gave the kimchi that he made to his friends and they all said that was good.
Hanbok designer Ms Lee said: "Whatever you give BYJ to eat, he also likes to eat."
Mr Lee, the Korea National Tourism Organization President, said that being a Korean, he was very proud of BYJ. He felt surprised and great for BYJ to have so many fans in Japan. He said, “Today, I can feel the beauty of South Korea.”
