Nongshim RedForce[n 1] (Korean: 농심 레드포스) is a South Korean professional esports organization owned by food and beverage company Nongshim. The team's name and logo are a reference to Nongshim's popular instant noodle brand Shin Ramyun.[1] The organization initially started as a League of Legends team before branching out into other esports.

For most of its history the team competed in Challengers Korea (CK), the second division of professional League of Legends in South Korea.[2] However, as Team Dynamics, the team qualified for South Korea's primary league, League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK), after winning the 2020 LCK Summer promotion tournament.[3] In late 2020 Riot Games Korea announced that Team Dynamics would be one of ten permanent franchise partners of the LCK.[4] Nongshim became the main sponsor of Team Dynamics on 17 June 2020, and stated that it would acquire the team after the 2020 LCK season. On 17 December 2020, Team Dynamics was rebranded as Nongshim RedForce.[1]

On 25 November 2024, Nongshim RedForce acquired Valorant team Sin Prisa Gaming, who had recently promoted to the Valorant Champions Tour via winning the Ascension Pacific tournament. As such, they also acquired their spot into the VCT Pacific League.[5]
