Where Is 'Korean Iced Milk' Actually From?

Junxi buys a cup of the recently popular 'Korean Iced Milk,' only to discover that this drink is actually not common in Korea.

俊熙

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.

刘娜
zhè ge这个míng zì名字tǐngtè bié特别yǐ qián以前zàihán guó韩国guòzhè zhǒng这种ma

That's quite an unusual name. Have you ever had anything like this in Korea?

俊熙
méi yǒu没有asuǒ yǐ所以cáijué de觉得qí guài奇怪háiwènleshǒu ěr首尔depéng yǒu朋友tā men他们shuōméijiànguò

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.

刘娜
kě néng可能zhǐ shì只是míng zì名字jiàohán guó韩国bīng nǎi冰奶bakànbēi zi杯子dǐ bù底部xiězhegōng sī公司dì zhǐ地址zàishěn yáng沈阳

Then maybe 'Korean Iced Milk' is just the name. Look, the company address on the bottom of the cup says Shenyang.

俊熙
háizhēn shì真是gāng cái刚才guāng gù光顾zhekànshàng miàn上面dehán wén韩文lewán quán完全méizhù yì注意

It really does! I was so focused on the Korean writing on the cup that I didn't notice at all.

刘娜
nán guài难怪huìwù huì误会zhè ge这个bēi zi杯子diàndezhuāng xiū装修sè diào色调kàn qǐ lái看起来què shí确实hěnhán xì韩系

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.

俊熙

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.

刘娜
jiǎn dān简单hǎo kàn好看xià tiān夏天yòuqīng shuǎng清爽nán guài难怪zuì jìn最近zhè me这么huǒ

It's simple, looks good, and is refreshing in summer. No wonder it's been so popular lately.

俊熙

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.'
