1. Banana Milk

Banana Milk began as a way to curb malnutrition in the 70s, but since then has been elevated to an everyday staple snack for many! This delicious beverage is sweet and creamy and a total treat for anyone who gets their hands on it!

2. Tteokbokki Snack

Everyone's favorite spicy Korean rice cake dish turned into a yummy crunchy snack! Scared of spicy? Don't worry- these snacks are actually more sweet than they are spicy! Tasty red tteokbokki snacks are crispy and a good alternative to potato chips for those who are deprived of something crunchy to snack on!

3. Honey Butter Chips

If Flamin' Hot Cheetos are an American staple, then Honey Butter flavored chips are the fan favorite of South Korea. The popularity of the flavor has forced retailers to limit the number of bags that customers buy, so be sure to snag some as a nice surprise for your bias!

4. Pepero

You've probably seen idols enjoy pepero when they play the Pepero Kissing game, but they also work as a yummy gift for your favorite artist! Pepero comes in an assortment of flavors so you can buy a different box for each member of your favorite group.

6. Dried Squid Snack

Is your favorite idol more into something savory and chewy? Dried Squid snacks are perfect! They're kind of similar to how beef jerky is eaten in the sense that the dried squid is snackable is full of protein! Just take it from the squid on the bag- this a seriously delicious savory snack!

7. Binch Cookies

Another delicious snack is LOTTE's "Binch" cookies! These simple chocolate covered biscuits and easy to snack on and work as a delicious after dance practice pick-me-up for your favorite idols!
