Some idols are so passionate about food that it’s practically their second personality trait. Whether they’re obsessed with burgers or addicted to donuts, these stars have earned the title of unofficial food ambassadors. Here are a few K-pop idols who could definitely star in a food commercial based on their love for specific snacks and meals.
1. RIIZE Sungchan
Sungchan is a true burger lover. He’s said he could eat a burger every single day and still want more. Even comedian Park Na Rae was surprised by how much he loves burgers. He’s also known for being able to tell the difference between burger brands, like a true connoisseur.
2. BTS Jungkook
Jungkook is famous for loving all kinds of food, but when it comes to kombucha, he takes things to a new level. After casually sharing his favorite brand on a livestream, it completely sold out. It even reached the point where Jungkook had to tell fans that he couldn’t get it anymore because of how fast it was disappearing from shelves.
3. MAMAMOO Hwa Sa
Hwa Sa has always been a proud foodie. While she enjoys many dishes, she’s particularly known for loving gopchang, also known as grilled intestines. Her bold food choices have become part of her iconic image, and she’s helped popularize foods that many idols might shy away from.
4. SISTAR Soyu
Like Hwa Sa, Soyu has a big appetite and isn’t afraid to show it. Her favorite indulgence? Dakbal, or spicy chicken feet. Her passion for this fiery dish makes her the perfect candidate to represent unique Korean comfort food.
5. BTS Jin
Jin’s love for food is legendary among ARMYs, so it was only a matter of time before he became a brand ambassador. He’s now the face of Jin Ramen, a fitting partnership that reflects both his name and his passion for eating well.
6. aespa Karina
Karina might surprise you with her appetite. A now-famous video shows her devouring donuts one after another without hesitation. She’s even mentioned that people are often shocked to find out how much the aespa members actually eat.
7. Seventeen Mingyu
Mingyu takes food and fitness seriously. Known for sticking to clean meals, he often eats plain boiled chicken breast as part of his daily routine. During an appearance on Kim Jong Kook’s YouTube channel 'Gym Jongkook,' he shared more about his disciplined eating habits—proof that you can love food and still keep things lean.
