Annyeong.

Annyeong!

Mashy soya.

Danjan.

An accessible frozen bibimbap.

You want the egg or something?

We prepared for it.

Okay, let's go.

Super healthy items.

Shut him up.

That's the only way you can.

It's been more than a year since we got back from Korean boot camp with the boys, so it was about time to get them back together.

Welcome back, guys.

Oh, no, look at us.

Thank you for having us.

Good to be here.

How's it feel?

Good.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

I'm nervous, but I'm excited, yeah.

There'd be no chopsticks.

We've got more Korean food for you.

Me and Nati were just saying we haven't had Korean food since your life.

Well, they have just started selling Korean food in British Costco.

Really?

Must have loved that.

She would absolutely love that.

We are trying the viral Korean Costco kimbap.

Brought from a brand called Hanumul.

This is yubu ya che kimbap.

I might need a fork here because I might be in trouble.

Oh, there we go.

That's warm.

No, I was not expecting it to be hot.

That's what Costco says.

I always find kingbuff is a bit better when it's slightly warm as well.

So this is fried tofu and vegetable kingbuff.

I don't know, chicken.

Did you say that was tofu?

Yeah, there's fried tofu in there, yeah.

I thought that was bulgogi.

That's the kimbak bag I need, that is the kimbak bag I need.

This is enough kimbak, this is it.

Hanun Moon is basically making Korean food accessible.

Next time you're in Costco, keep an eye out.

I definitely will, because my sister loves Korean food, she's literally obsessed with that.

I remember there was one day, I think it was after the training, we were starving, it was so hungry and then it just rolled out like three.

We had like 20 different kimbak rolls.

A massive box of gimma.

And I think I shed a tear.

I think it was like that emotional.

Well, not the only tear.

Not the only tear, no, no, not the only tear, no. The next thing we have is Hanungul's yukkyejang bukbap.

Yukkyejang is traditional Korean dish.

Buk means soup, bap means rice.

Wow, look at that.

That smells really good.

Anything that's come out of one of these pots, that tastes a good serve.

Okay, okay.

I have high hopes.

Get some of that.

oh wow wow that is beautiful yeah that is brilliant it's simple

but wow so much flavor you wouldn't expect that much flavor from soup

and rice and the rice is not soggy that's not the right verb

but yeah so that is actually frozen that's frozen frozen it was frozen oh wow

so that literally comes wow just like this basically just frozen rice

and broth in there oh wow all you do is pour water

Seolbokumbak.

Proper Korean food in Costco.

They know what they're doing.

And this is impressive.

It's like convenient, efficient.

That's what you need as well, because not everyone has time to cook.

Also, this looks like a proper meal, whereas the instant Thai green, you know, it looks instant.

This looks like a halmuni has been working on it for like months.

It does.

Yeah, yeah.

And do you know what?

It's also healthy.

Like both the first two dishes that we've been introduced to, they're super healthy items.

That's Korean food, isn't it?

That is Korean food.

Does it come with a pot?

No, unfortunately not.

162

Well, there was the one where we did the ribs, it was just me and you. That too.

163

Oh.

164

With the cheese on top.

165

That was so good.

166

You guys are a reward for learning Korean.

167

How's your Korean doing these days, guys?

168

169

I think I could do you up by kamsamirao.

170

Oh, very good.

He knows the important stuff.

172

The key stuff.

173

Do you remember how to count to four?

174

175

176

I still sleep in attention.

177

Next up, we have Tehu Bokumbap.

178

Wow.

179

You told him what I like, because I love shrimp and rice, honestly.

180

I didn't know, I didn't know.

181

It's Costco.

182

Oh, sorry, yeah, Costco.

183

We told the CEO of Hanumu, Bobby's going to need a shrimp fried rice on the menu.

184

Go get a shrimp.

185

Yeah, I have to.

186

Get a bit of spring onion on that. That is so good.

187

I think I'm getting tired of saying that is so good.

188

Because everything is so good.

189

A bit smoky.

190

Okay.

191

That's good.

192

The flavour isn't as strong.

193

It's got that subtle shrimp flavour in the smokiness.

194

That's really good.

195

This is how you can find it in Costco in the UK.

196

Giant shrimp fried rice.

197

Oh my god.

198

That's like double his head.

199

Literally reheat it either in the microwave or in a frying pan.

200

I've never had frozen rice before.

201

The rice is not too mushy as well, sometimes with microwave rice and also frozen rice.

202

This is probably better than what I cook, and that's really concerning.

203

You know what?

204

I feel like we need maybe a little side to go with it.

205

Fear not, we have some Wang Chouja.

206

Oh!

207

These look massive!

208

King size.

209

Yeah, Wang Mandu.

210

Exactly, these are Wang Mandu.

211

I've never seen his eyes pop like that in 13 years of being friends with him.

212

These are good.

213

These are crispy, they're super crispy

214

215

that um sweet potato stuff inside nothing tastes like it's like

216

frozen food that's crazy you guys gonna lie it easily this

217

time oh yeah we just made it for the past five

218

hours this is probably up there with the best dumplings I've had 100 % because what I think of instant food

219

Shut him up.

220

That's the only way you can.

221

Last up, one of the most classic Korean dishes we have, bibimbap.

222

I never would have believed it was even possible to make a frozen version of bibimbap.

223

Oh my god.

224

Max's favorite.

225

It's my favorite dish because it's just like one mess and I'm a mess and it's just great.

226

What sauce is that?

227

Do we know?

228

Gochujang.

229

That's the one thing I actually do eat, is gochujang.

230

I always have it with my gochujang mayo, just stuff like that.

231

Okay, nice.

232

Let's go.

233

Yeah.

234

Yeah, that's lovely.

235

That's really good. So comforting.

236

I don't understand how this is possible.

237

This tastes like a lot of what we had in Korea.

238

And with the veg, you can't really tell it's frozen.

239

It's still got the fresh rot to it.

240

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

241

But the thing is, if you get this in a restaurant, I think you'd be super happy with it.

242

You can also add that egg so easily.

243

Just a little fried egg, bam, on top, and you've got a proper meal.

244

A little taste of maybe the most accessible Korean food around.

245

Hopefully, you guys agree, still authentic?

246

Still pretty authentic, yeah.

247

Definitely.

248

Do you have a favorite?

249

I think they saved the best to last.

250

I think it's bubimbab.

251

I mean, I'll have to get some of that kimbap.

252

That was good.

253

That was insane.

254

And also the kimchi cheese.

255

Yeah, yeah, the two little snacks.

256

Big shout out to Hanun -mul for bringing this food and making it so accessible.

257

Check the description to see availability in your country and enjoy authentic Korean flavors at home.

258

Hanun -mul, thank you very much for all this amazing food.

259

I'm running to the nearest Costco.

260

We're going to have to get a bigger freezer back.

261

They're a big packet.

262

That's all for today.

263

Who Will Benefit from This Video?

This video is perfect for intermediate English learners focusing on IELTS speaking practice or casual conversation skills. The dialogue between British college students is natural, with real-time reactions and slang, making it ideal for shadow speak—repeating phrases to mimic rhythm and tone. If you want to sound more fluent in everyday discussions, this is a great resource: it’s unscripted, relatable, and full of common expressions you’d hear in social settings.

Words & Idioms Worth Stealing

"Shut him up": A casual way to say "make someone stop talking" (often playful). Example: "He kept joking, so I shut him up with a snack."
"Viral": Describes something popular online. Example: "That Korean food trend went viral on TikTok."
"Keep an eye out": To watch for something. Example: "Keep an eye out for the new kimbap at the store."
"Starving": Extremely hungry (more intense than "hungry"). Example: "We were starving after the long day."

How to Get the Accent Right

To master the British accent in this video, focus on two key areas for english speaking practice. First, the short "a" sound in words like "flat" and "massive"—keep it crisp, not drawn out. Second, the rhythm: British speakers often stress the first syllable in words like "accessible" (ac-SES-si-ble) and "obsessed" (ob-SES-sed). For shadow speech, pause the video after short phrases ("Good to be here," "I was not expecting it") and repeat them, matching the speed and intonation. Notice how the students use rising tones when excited ("Really?")—this adds natural emotion to your speech. Practice daily to make these patterns second nature.

Grammar in this video

The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:

Structure	In the video
Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now	It's been · haven't had · have just started
Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it	is fried · is actually frozen · we've been introduced

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
