Where Is 'Korean Iced Milk' Actually From?
jùn xī俊熙mǎi买le了yī bēi一杯zuì jìn最近hěn很huǒ火de的“hán guó韩国bīng nǎi冰奶”,què却fā xiàn发现zhè zhǒng这种yǐn liào饮料zài在hán guó韩国bìng并bù不cháng jiàn常见。

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
liú lǎo shī刘老师,nǐ你kàn看,wǒ我gāng cái刚才lù shàng路上mǎi买de的。“hán guó韩国bīng nǎi冰奶”。wǒ我hái还pāi拍le了zhào piān照片,zhǔn bèi准备fā发xiǎo hóng shū小红书ne呢。

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tǐng挺tè bié特别。nǐ你yǐ qián以前zài在hán guó韩国hē喝guò过zhè zhǒng这种ma吗?

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

俊熙
méi yǒu没有a啊,suǒ yǐ所以wǒ我cái才jué de觉得qí guài奇怪。wǒ我hái还wèn问le了shǒu ěr首尔de的péng yǒu朋友,tā men他们yě也shuō说méi没jiàn见guò过。

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
nà那kě néng可能zhǐ shì只是míng zì名字jiào叫“hán guó韩国bīng nǎi冰奶”ba吧。nǐ你kàn看,bēi zi杯子dǐ bù底部xiě写zhe着gōng sī公司dì zhǐ地址zài在shěn 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
hái还zhēn shì真是!wǒ我gāng cái刚才guāng gù光顾zhe着kàn看shàng miàn上面de的hán wén韩文le了,wán quán完全méi没zhù 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nǐ你huì会wù huì误会。zhè ge这个bēi zi杯子、diàn店lǐ里de的zhuāng xiū装修sè diào色调,kàn qǐ lái看起来què shí确实hěn很hán 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
duì对,ér qiě而且diàn店lǐ里hǎo duō好多rén人ná dào拿到yǐ hòu以后bú shì不是xiān先hē喝,shì是xiān先pāi zhào拍照。wèi dào味道dào倒tǐng挺jiǎn dān简单,jiù shì就是bīng bīng冰冰de的niú nǎi牛奶jiā加shuǐ guǒ水果。

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hē喝yòu又qīng shuǎng清爽,yě也nán guài难怪zuì jìn最近zhè me这么huǒ火。

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

俊熙
nà那wǒ我de的shì pín视频děi得gǎi改yī xià一下le了。bù néng不能shuō说“hán guó韩国xīn pǐn新品”,hái shì还是pāi拍chéng成“míng zì名字hěn很hán guó韩国,jié guǒ结果shì是dōng běi东北lái来de的”bǐ jiào比较yǒu yì si有意思。

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.'
