The boom of Korean Wave all over the world made no exception of its insertion including Malaysia. Korean cultural industries including Korean foods, cosmetics, entertainment and technology were gradually accepted in Malaysia, a Muslim majority country and with a well repute halal governance. Therefore, owing to the growing demand for Korean food leads to increasing numbers of Korean food products and Korean establishments in Malaysia. However, only a small number of the establishments that are halal certified.
