Using cheese in noodle dishes A while ago I went to a Korean restaurant and ordered a noodle dish without really looking at the menu (as I sometimes tend to do). I was surprised when I was served something that had cheese in it, and even though I know that Korean dishes can contain a variety of common but not commonly used ingredients (e.g. Korean Army Stew with Spam and other bits and pieces) this was still unusual for me.

However, I have asked a few people about hot noodle dishes with cheese and no one seems to know much about this. I am wondering if this is a Korean cooking technique/style or if it is also used in other cuisines and dishes around the world.

Is there a well-known Korean hot noodle dish that includes cheese? If so what is it called?
My friend who was in Korea for a few months said that they are obsessed with cheese. It's not a traditional ingredient, but in modern cuisine they try to introduce cheese to some of the dishes - I guess this is the case you described. In my city (Poznań, Poland) there is a Korean restaurant specializing in bibimbap and the serve one option with mozarella cheese (and kimchi, it's a gorgeous combination).
