If you have ever visited South Korea, you will have noticed a coffee shop on virtually every corner of the street, and if there isn't then each convenience store is highly stocked with various coffees. So why is coffee so popular in Korea? As a proud Brit, I have always been raised with a "cup of tea" and like most Brits, after a long day, or when you feel stressed a cup of tea is a way to take some time out and gather your thoughts. However, in the UK, coffee culture is slowly growing. When I moved to Korea, I was really surprised how many coffee shops there were. I recently read that there is over 100,000 coffee shops in Korea, from big chains like Starbucks, to smaller local chains or one off stores. Whenever I am in downtown, I tend to be only a couple of meters away from a coffee shop. Most of the coffee shops also offer a very competitive price, typically around 1,500 KRW (USD 1.09) for a take out, or for a bigger chain around 5,000 KRW (USD 3.60) . Which for me is a really good price. Let's check out why coffee culture is so big in Korea! Most Koreans that I have met, always love to drink coffee, even in the evening or with food. Every time I have experienced this, I have been left with questions, like, "Surley it's too late to drink coffee?" "Why are you drinking coffee with food?" But, I always get told the same answer, that its a "sociable drink", as well as remaining a trend. I have also noticed, and I am sure that you have too, that coffee shops in Korea, tend to offer a variety of items on their menu, but even more than that, the coffee shops also offer different levels of seating, from study zones, to "no kids zones", or even private booths. In my time in Korea, I have also visited many pet theme, or character theme coffee shops too which for me, helps boost the trend and coffee culture in Korea. I for sure recommend if you have not done so already, signing up to many of the coffee shop apps, or rewards cards, as they offer free coffees, exclusive benefits and sometimes event offers on their products. Which of course keep me coming back for more. I am not here to say whether Korean coffee is good or bad – it can be either-or. What I want to look at is the culture itself. What is it all about? How did it happen? Why does it even exist? If you haven't read our article on the history of coffee in South Korea, read it here! This is why cafés are the "go-to spot" I must begin this by saying that in Korea, everything passes as a café. While a café is typically a store that primarily sells coffee, this is a bit different in Korea. Rather, the word ‘café’ in Korea refers more to a meeting place. Many "cafés" even seem to serve drinks as an afterthought. Check out this popular trending celebrity-themed café that Dojeon team member, Jing Ru, went to for a better idea on how creative South Koreans can be with their cafés! Without a doubt, since I moved to Korea, I consume heaps more coffee than I once did, and it has sneakily added itself into my daily routine. But why not!? Not only do I guess it is apart of the culture in Korea, but its also delicious, and affordable! What do you think of the coffee culture in Korea? Let us know in the comments below.

There is something for everyone! With 99 of those being world premieres, you can be among the very first to see ground-breaking new films before they hit the global stage. Adding to the festival's prestige, the acclaimed American writer and filmmaker Oliver Stone is serving on the judging panel, bringing his legendary cinematic eye to help discover the next big thing in film, and you never know, you might be able to spot your favorite actor or actress at the same time. Buy your tickets online if you can With there being so much on offer to see and do, it is ideal to plan ahead if you can as it will enable you to find what movies you are interested in, and book them as as they are available as competition for times and slots is often fierce. Don’t forget, two tickets max! Th is is the golden rule! When you buy tickets in person at the event you are only allowed to buy two tickets at a time, so if you are in a big group you will need to have half the number of people in line to get all of the tickets. If not, ask the people behind you in line to buy the tickets for you. https://www.biff.kr/eng/html/schedule/date.asp?day1=6 Be on time! Most of the time, there are K-stars, International stars, directors, and even producers at the show! Often, they might give a speech or pose for a photo or two, so it is vital to be on time for the event and show! Even better, show up early (a good 10-15 minutes will do the trick) so you can have the best seat in town.) Give yourself some time This is one of the hottest events of the year, especially in Korean cinema , and most visitors to the event aim to watch as many events as possible, so just make sure to give yourself some breathing time between the shows, as the event is always very busy due to its increased popularity. The city of Busan is very spread out, so getting from one venue to the next may be tight. If you’re leaving less than 30 minutes between each movie, make sure you book movies at the same venue. Book your accommodations early The event is always popular, and with over 200,000 people attending the event it is not al ways easy to find a place to stay. As you can imagine, good accommodations will fill up quite quickly, especially in the Haeundae area . Make sure you book your room ahead of time so you have the best selection possible.

The romantic flair comes from a beautiful, headstrong researcher named Shin Ha-ri ( Kim Se-jeong ).

If there's one thing BTS has always reminded us, it's that music has a way of bringing people together. Sometimes, it even inspires us to make a difference beyond the songs we love. This August, BFM Jungkookies invites everyone, not just ARMYs, to celebrate that spirit of kindness through Golden Drop: Bloodletting Year 5, an annual blood donation drive held in partnership with the Philippine Red Cross. Jungkook during 2026 FIFA World Cup (@JJK_Times/X) Happening on August 15, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM at the Philippine Red Cross Logistics and Multipurpose Center in Mandaluyong, the event is part of KOOKIE SEASON 2026, a fan-led birthday celebration for BTS' Golden Maknae, Jungkook, that has grown into something much bigger than a birthday tradition. This year's theme, "AUrirang: Share the Gift of Life", takes inspiration from BTS' latest era, one that celebrates connection, community, and choosing to live with open hearts. It feels especially fitting alongside a line from Like Animals: "Eat this life 'til your heart is full." What better way to fill your heart than by giving someone else another chance to keep theirs beating? Now in its fifth year, Golden Drop continues to prove that fandom can be a force for good. Every year, donors, volunteers, and supporters come together with one simple goal: to help replenish the country's blood supply and give hope to patients who need it most. Bloodletting Poster (BFM Jungkookies) You don't have to know every BTS song or own a light stick to join. Whether you're a longtime ARMY, a first-time blood donor, or someone simply looking for a meaningful way to give back, there's a place for you here. Because at the end of the day, this isn't just about celebrating an artist. It's about celebrating the values that bring people together—kindness, generosity, and the belief that even one small act can make a lasting impact. This August, let's turn admiration into action. Let's make this birthday celebration one that reaches beyond the fandom and into the lives of people who need it most. Join Golden Drop: Bloodletting Year 5 and help us share the gift of life. Register as a donor here: https://bit.ly/KS26PRC After all, some of the most beautiful stories begin with a single act of kindness, and sometimes, it's as simple as rolling up your sleeve. Check out last year's event! #bfmjungkookies #JungkooksBirthday #KookieSeason2026 #BloodlettingYear5
