This is normal! it's likely due to the gases produced during the fermentation process. Kimchi undergoes fermentation as the beneficial lactic acid bacteria present in the vegetables consume sugars and produce gases, primarily carbon dioxide. This is a normal part of the fermentation process.

Just because it's fermented doesn't mean kimchi won't go bad eventually. However, the signs of it going "bad" might not be as obvious as with fresh veggies and other refrigerated goods. When kimchi become sour, we recommend making kimchi soup or kimchi pancake.
