Per the State of Maryland: Governor Larry Hogan today proclaimed November 22, 2022 as Kimchi Day to recognize the importance of this popular Korean dish, and to further celebrate Korean culture in Maryland.

First Lady Yumi Hogan, the first Korean-American First Lady in the United States, has promoted kimchi through her “Yumi Cooks” series. Government House is the first and only governor’s mansion in the nation with a kimchi refrigerator. The First Lady also led the effort to open Maryland’s Koreatown last year in Ellicott City.
“Proclaiming the first Kimchi Day in state history is another way to celebrate our incredible Korean-American community and its many contributions,” said Governor Hogan. “Our administration is proud of the special bond we have with Korea, and all we have been able to do to make those cultural and economic ties even stronger.”
