Chonggak kimchi (총각김치) is another popular type of kimchi in Korea. It’s made with chonggak mu (총각무), which is a small variety of white radish with long leafy stems. This small variety is firmer and crunchier than the large varieties of white radishes. Chonggak mu is also called altari mu (알타리무).

The word chonggak (총각) means “bachelor” in Korean, and the word originated from the ponytail hairstyle, called chonggak, young boys/men used to have in the old days. It’s commonly believed that this radish was given its name because of long leafy stems resembling ponytails. This kimchi is often translated to “bachelor kimchi” in English.
