Dalgona Coffee Trends

One of the leading coffee-consuming nations in Asia, the coffee culture in South Korea can range from basic premixed coffee to more artistic culinary experiences. Moreover, coffee shops in the country are one of the most preferred places for socialising. With these places being shut because of the coronavirus pandemic, some South Koreans turned to a simple home-made version of the beverage. Dalgona coffee, which is also being dubbed ‘quarantine coffee’, has become a raging trend on social media—with the recipes and photos of the beverage flooding platforms like YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.
It requires three simple ingredients — instant coffee, milk and sugar — and some time to whip. Which is why it’s a quarantine favourite.
The Dalgona coffee is only the latest among a number of other South Korean delicacies which have become increasingly popular in recent years. While Dalgona coffee got catapulted into worldwide fame through a spontaneous social media trend, other South Korean dishes like Kimchi and Bibimbap partly owe their global popularity to concerted efforts by governmental agencies and food industry bodies of South Korea. All these are excellent examples of South Korea’s soft power in the culinary sphere, or in other words, its gastro-diplomacy.
