That’s why, over the last few days, people have been sharing their attempts (especially on TikTok) at making Dalgona coffee.
The trend is credited to actor Jung Il-woo after appearing on the show “Pyunstorang.” He went to Macau where he was served with a handmade drink. Jung said it was delicious and reminded him of dalgona candy. He called it Macau Dalgona coffee.
The drink itself has origins from Rajasthan(India) where it is also known as whipped coffee or beaten coffee
The craze started percolating in late January, according to Google Trends, then gained traction near the end of February when a Korean YouTuber posted a now viral, ASMR-style video of how to make the creamy drink.
Though the early posters of dalgona coffee videos were based in Korea, people in Japan, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Germany, and the United States have taken hold of the trend — all countries with cases of COVID-19 and where there are mass communal efforts toward isolation and social distancing.
