Let's check out some best Korean traditional food

Kimchi: The Heart and Soul of Korean Cuisine

It would be impossible to discuss Korean cuisine without discussing kimchi. This traditional Korean food has a history extending back more than 2,000 years to the Shilla Dynasty. People usually use cabbage or radishes for kimchi. All the ingredients are usually seasoned with salt, chili pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, and other herbs and spices. The end result is a dish that Koreans adore with every meal because it is sour, hot, and pungent. Due to its probiotic nature, kimchi is not only delicious but also has several health advantages.

Korean Fried Chicken: The Crispy Delight of Traditional Korean Food

Korean fried chicken recreates the classic American fast food in its own special way. Unlike its American equivalents, double-fry the chicken in vegetable oil before covering it in a sweet-spicy sauce. As a result, the inside of the meat is extremely moist. And the lightly battered skin is crispy and low in fat. Korean Fried Chicken is a famous late-night treat with beer.

Tteokbokki- Red Rice Cakes

Tteokbokki is a beloved traditional Korean food that has become a popular street food dish across the country. It features chewy rice cakes, known as tteok, cooked in a spicy sauce, creating a flavorful and satisfying meal. Tteokbokki is known for its unique combination of heat, sweetness, and umami flavors.

6 K-Pop Idols Who Break Korea’s Beauty Standards

1. Jessi 

Jessi would be the last person to play by anyone’s rules. Jessi is bold and beautiful and people love her for that. With her tanned skin and voluptuous body, she adheres to no Korean beauty standards and is absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. She has even spoken vocally about her cosmetics surgeries and is loved by fans for being raw and unapologetic in her approach to life be it on or off camera. 

2. Stray Kids Changbin 

Nothing wrong with Chang Bin’s visuals but sometimes it’s not acceptable to the current beauty norms of K-pop. His sharp chin gives him a killer jawline but the people still say it’s too pointed. Even his short height makes him not fit into the ideal Korean beauty standards but nevertheless, he is still one of the best rapper of this generation. 

3. Mamamoo Hwasa 

Hwasa is a powerhouse on stage with her beautiful curvy body. It is no surprise that she is on the list due to the backlash she receives for her bold outfit choices. She may not have the ideal slim body, pale flawless skin, or big eyes, but it is her unique look that makes her even more attractive. 

4. Seventeen Woozi 

Woozi doesn’t fit into the Korean beauty standards with his 164 cm of height. His noble size difference when compared to his other members is actually quite cute and endearing, plus he is extremely talented and an excellence performer. You clearly don’t need to be towering over other idols to prove your talent.

5. Twice Jihyo 

Jihyo wasn’t spared. Due to having a slightly large frame than her members, she was called fat even though she was far from that and her tanned skin was not appreciated too. But now this girl is going against all odds and embracing her body and giving us god-tier visuals in every comeback. 

6. BTS Jimin 

Jimin is known for having small eyes. He’s shown fans that he’s not handsome despite them, but rather because of them. While having big eyes and double eyelids is the standard in Korea, Jimin is one of the few idols who have small, monolid eyes.
