Korean summers are known for being notoriously hot, here at Dojeon Media we have short-listed the top three Korean foods that you must try! Now, with the summer season kicking into action, I have listed three of the many Korean summer foods that you really should try, whether you are living in Korea or simply visiting. As you may know, Korean summers can get VERY hot, especially in Daegu which the Koreans name it (Dafrica) as it's simply dry and hot because of its beautiful mountain surroundings. 1. Patbingsu (팥빙수) Now before I tried this for the first time, I thought that it might taste like ice cream, though I realized that it was nothing like that. It's known for it's shaved ice toppings and either red bean or fruits, both of which are typically served with condensed milk for extra sweetness or candy depending on what option you choose. Though you can get individual portions, it is something that is usually served as a sharing size and I think that makes it such a more enjoyable social experience. My favorite has to be the mango flavor, and the shaved ice treat will definitely leave you feeling refreshed this summer! 2. Naengmyeon ( 냉면) Now if you have not heard of naengmyeon, you will very quickly when you are in Korea, especially in the summer. This dish is a cold noodle dish. It is made of buckwheat, potato, and sweet potato flour, and it is usually made with a beef broth with ice, vegetables, pear, and slices of meat, topped with a boiled egg. That said, nowadays this is one of the most popular summer dishes but its origins are from North Korea, where it was not strictly prepared during the summer but also during the winter. For me, this dish screams everything about summer in Korea and it can usually be found everywhere for a reasonable price. 3. Samgyetang ( 삼계탕) Now, Samgyetang is probably the most famous of the summer foods I have listed in this article, and for good reason. Now, I love chicken, and this hot chicken broth packs a punch of different flavors, which are said to keep you cool during the Korean summer. I have also tried making this famous dish at a cooking class about two years ago, and the whole baby chicken which is the star feature of this dish, boils to the bone and then soaks in all of the other ingredients. This dish can be found in the majority of places in Korea during the summer. Check out more summer foods in the video below! Now with summer kicking into action, what Korean summer foods are you going to try? Let us know in the comments below if you have tried any Korean summer foods, and what your favorite one is! #kfood #koreanfood #summerfoods #samgyetang #naengmyeon #bingsu

Life lessons to learn from IU's dramas (Image Credit - Instagram/@ dlwlrma) The multifaceted star IU , also known as Lee Ji Eun, turns 32 today! A supremely gifted singer, accomplished actress, and versatile performer, IU's inspiring rags-to-riches journey has made her a beloved figure in the Korean entertainment industry. Having begun her career at a young age, she has steadily risen to become one of the most respected and influential artists of her generation. Affectionately dubbed the " Nation's Little Sister " for her sweet visuals, humble demeanor, and embodiment of Korean values, IU’s success across music, television, and film has become a blueprint for aspiring entertainers. To celebrate her birthday, we revisit five of her most memorable on-screen characters—and the profound life lessons they’ve taught us. Oh Ae Sun and Yang Geum Myeong – When Life Gives You Tangerines  (2025) IU in a still from When Life Gives You Tangerines (Image Credit: Netflix) Across generations, women have had to confront the deep-rooted injustices of patriarchy, and sadly, that struggle continues even today. Through both Ae Sun and Geum Yeong , IU portrayed women who met life’s challenges with unspoken grace, quiet strength, unwavering dignity, and uncompromising pride. Life Lesson:  Be your own role model. Set an example that future generations can look up to. Choose a partner who loves, respects, and treats you as an equal—someone who will stand by you through every storm. 2. Jang Man Wol – Hotel Del Luna (2019) IU in a still from Hotel Del Luna (Image via tvN) In this dark fantasy meets tragicomedy gem, IU embodied the fierce and unforgettable Jang Man Wol, the stylish and sharp-tongued owner of Hotel Del Luna —a place where souls of the dead find rest. Bound to the hotel for over a millennium due to a past sin, Man Wol carries her curse with attitude, elegance, and unapologetic flair. Life Lesson:  Women are often judged for indulging in luxury, but why not celebrate what you’ve earned? Wear your diamonds, drive that dream car, sip fine champagne, and own every inch of your power. You only live once—so live boldly, live beautifully. 3. Lee Ji An – My Mister (2018) IU in a still from My Mister (Image via tvN). One of IU’s most powerful and nuanced performances, My Mister  remains an underrated gem that explores grief, trauma, and the slow, quiet process of healing. As Lee Ji An, IU portrays a young woman burdened by crushing debt, an ailing grandmother, and a life that has shown her little mercy. Yet, through her unlikely bond with Park Dong Hoon (the late Lee Sun Kyun ), she begins a journey toward emotional renewal and human connection. Life Lesson:  Life can be unbearably heavy at times, but don’t shut yourself off from the possibility of love, friendship, and healing. Even in the darkest moments, there’s a quiet beauty in simply choosing to live fully and hopefully. 4. Go Ha Jin and Hae Soo – Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016) IU in a still from Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (Image via SBS) Long before Twenty-Five Twenty-One  tugged at the heartstrings of K-drama fans, Moon Lovers  left a lasting imprint with its emotionally charged storytelling and unforgettable performances, particularly the heartbreaking chemistry between IU and Lee Joon Gi. As Go Ha Jin, a modern woman who time-travels to the Goryeo Dynasty and becomes Hae Soo, IU navigates palace intrigue, political chaos, and a tragic yet passionate romance with Prince Wang So ( Lee Joong Gi ). Life Lesson:  Many of us grow up dreaming of a perfect Prince Charming—but sometimes, love arrives in a form we never imagined. The right person may not fit the fantasy, but they’ll give you something far more real: a love that is selfless, honest, and soul-deep. When you find it, cherish it. 5.  Kim Pil Sook – Dream High (2011) IU in a still from Dream High (Image via KBS2). IU’s television drama debut, Dream High , introduced us to Kim Pil Sook—a shy, overweight, but incredibly gifted singer and performer. In many ways, Pil Sook mirrors IU’s own beginnings as Lee Ji Eun : an underconfident yet passionate girl with big dreams. Through the trials and triumphs at Kirin Art School, Pil Sook learns to embrace her identity, overcome insecurities, and grow into the artist she was always meant to be. Life Lesson:  Pil Sook’s journey is the message we’d all love to send to our 15-year-old selves: Never let anyone or anything stop you from dreaming big. Just like IU, you’re meant for the stars. Shine on. Dream on. You’re pitch perfect—both literally and figuratively. *Bonus IU News! Exciting news for IU and Cha Eun Woo fans! IU’s agency has officially confirmed that she is gearing up for a comeback this month with an untitled album, set to be released as a special birthday gift for her beloved UAENAs (IU’s fandom). This marks her first comeback in a year and three months, following the release of The Winning  in February 2024. Adding to the excitement, her agency also revealed that Cha Eun Woo will be making a cameo appearance in her upcoming music video—a heartfelt surprise for fans ahead of his expected military enlistment in the coming months. This much-anticipated collaboration between two of Korea’s most adored stars has fans buzzing with anticipation. Are you excited for IU and Cha Eun Woo’s long-awaited team-up?
