Learning about K-pop star’s favorite food in Berlin, Germany… “I feel closer”

On the 9th (local time), the Korean Cultural Center in Germany held a cooking show featuring Korean dishes favored by K-pop idols such as BTS Jungkook and NCT Dream Mark at the Berlin Cultural Center.

The event was a success, with about 160 K-pop fans and their families attending, where they demonstrated how to make perilla oil makguksu and Jajangmyeon and then sampled them.

A K-pop fan who participated in the event said, “After watching my favorite idol make his favorite food and eating it myself, I felt closer to him,” and added, “I plan to go home and try making it myself.”

After the cooking show, a marketplace was opened where K-pop fans could barter for K-pop-related goods they owned, which became popular.

Additionally, events such as trying on Hanbok and taking instant photos continued.
