ofc you have a kimchi fridge 😅 so you keep it there & open it once a day or something? I tried fermenting chillies to make a sauce, but it never bubbled. I left it in a clip mason jar (the ones that seal completely) but opened it once a day. Thought maybe my house is too cold 😔

I start kimchi by leaving it out of the fridge, and crack it once a day yes. Once it's fermenting, I just leave it in the fridge and don't worry about cracking it every now and again beyond opening it to get kimchi to eat :D The fridge is kept around 6 degC.
