    Have you ever wondered what those sticks in yellow paper were?

    In any K-drama about an office, the main characters will definitely make themselves a cup of coffee at some point, but what kind of coffee mix are they using?

    The famous gold coffee from Maxim! The trick is to use the package as a stir stick!

    Banana milk

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krDrZdIoYGE&embeds_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.allkpop.com%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title&ab_channel=1%EB%B6%84%EB%93%9C%EB%9D%BC%EB%A7%88%EB%AA%A8%EC%9D%8Czip

    Banana milk is not only Jungkook's favorite drink from BTS, but it's also the drink of choice for many characters in K-dramas.

    Tteokbokki

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=75&v=C49bANvimgs&embeds_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.allkpop.com%2F&source_ve_path=MzY4NDIsMjM4NTE&feature=emb_title&ab_channel=SWeinVirtualTourGallery

    If these characters aren't eating ramen, they're probably eating tteokbokki, and who can blame them?

    The sweet, savory, and spicy red sauce is poured over the soft, chewy rice cakes. Just look at how much Shin Hari and Jin Yeong Seo liked to eat tteokbooki in "Business Proposal."

    Fish Bread (Bungeoppang)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shqwilmeoio&embeds_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.allkpop.com%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title&ab_channel=MBCdrama

    Kim Hye Jin says, "I want some fish bread" while talking to her boyfriend on the phone.

    The next thing she knows, Ji Sung Joon is at her door with a bag of fresh, hot, steaming fish bread.

    Korean Red Ginseng

    Ginseng extract is known to be good for your health, so some of your favorite K-drama characters, especially in "Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food" and "Uncontrollably Fond!", will often drink it.

    Strawberry Milk

    Right now, banana milk gets most of the attention, but strawberry milk is just as tasty.

    Plus, it has a pretty light pink color that makes it even more fun to drink.

    Kkokkalcorn

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH-k-qEiNuM&embeds_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.allkpop.com%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title&ab_channel=%EC%98%A4%EB%8A%98%EB%8F%84%EB%8D%94%EB%B9%84

    What are these weird crackers in the shape of a cone that people in K-dramas eat with their fingers?

    They are corn snacks that are puffed up.

    Try these instead of popcorn the next time you binge-watch a K-drama. They are light and crisp.

  • Lee Min Ho Shares the Hilarious Story Behind His Famous Baeksang Fall—The One Thing He’ll Never Forget!

    Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

    On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

    The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

    Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

    He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

    Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

    Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

    It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
