• 10 K-Drama-Inspired Snacks to Satisfy Your Hunger!

    Why does seeing someone else eat make you want that meal or snack even more?

    Even more so when you're up late watching your favorite K-dramas, those midnight cravings can be pretty strong. So, for your marathon of K-dramas, try ten of these snacks.

    What's a K-drama without a scene where people eat ramen?

    Jin Ramen

    Jin Ramen, which shows up in almost every K-drama, is a great snack to slurp while watching your favorite show.

    Kopiko Coffee Candy

    Making a show in "Vincenzo" and "Hometown Cha Cha Cha" Eating Kopiko candy is like drinking a hot, steaming cup of coffee.

    Try one of these bite-sized candies if you need a quick pick-me-up so you don't crash in the middle of the day!

    Cheese sausages

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

    Well, college students actually eat them a lot as a snack.

    Even in K-dramas, you can see a lot of college students eating these cheese sausages.

    Maxim Instant Coffee

    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

    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

    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)

    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

    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.

  • Kwon Min Ah worries fans with emotional post about fear and self-blame: “Everything feels scary, I need to get it together”

    Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

    On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
    “I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

    Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

    Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

    People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

    Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

    Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

    Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
