Junxi buys a cup of the recently popular 'Korean Iced Milk,' only to discover that this drink is actually not common in Korea.
Ms. Liu, look, I just bought this on the way here. It's called 'Korean Iced Milk.' I even took a photo and was about to post it on Xiaohongshu.
That's quite an unusual name. Have you ever had anything like this in Korea?
No, and that's exactly why I thought it was strange. I even asked my friends in Seoul, and they said they'd never seen it either.
Then maybe 'Korean Iced Milk' is just the name. Look, the company address on the bottom of the cup says Shenyang.
It really does! I was so focused on the Korean writing on the cup that I didn't notice at all.
No wonder you got the wrong idea. The cup and the color scheme of the shop's interior really do have a Korean-style aesthetic.
Right. And when people get their drinks, a lot of them take photos before they even have a sip. The flavor is actually pretty simple—just ice-cold milk with fruit.
It's simple, looks good, and is refreshing in summer. No wonder it's been so popular lately.
Then I'll have to change my video. Instead of calling it a 'new product from Korea,' it would be more interesting to say, 'It has a very Korean-sounding name, but it turns out it's from Northeast China.'
