You are forgiven if you think the "400 times coffee" comes from the land of K-pop and kimchi as South Korean celebrities and bloggers were the first to introduce the digital world to the wonders of the brew. But offline, the beverage had been served under a different name for much longer at a small shop, called Hon Kee Café, in China's Macao Special Administrative Region. The Dalgona Coffee was born as Chow Yun-Fat Coffee, after the eponymous Chinese actor who visited the shop and fell in love with the cup of joe. But it was South Korean actor Jung Il-woo who made the Dalgona Coffee a social media star in January 2020 after trying it in Macao as part of "Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant" show. Under the hashtag #dalgonacoffeechallenge, homemade versions began bubbling to surface on South Korean YouTube channels and spilling over to TikTok and Instagram.
