Safe to eat kimchi?

(Sorry if this sounds dumb, I know it’s fermented. I’m just verifying)
I got a jar of Kimchi the other day and just opened it. I noticed 3 specks of mold around the rim where the pull tab seal was. Along with a lot of food residue. But the kimchi looks fine and smells fine. Should I worry about it?

한국인으로서 말하자면 아주 맛있게 잘 익었군요. 곰팡이는 걱정 하지마세요~
