Here are six K-pop stars with surprising eating and drinking habits … Whether you want to copy them is completely up to you.
NCT’s Jaemin puts eight espresso shots in his coffee
It’s typical to finish off a meal with a cup of coffee in Korea. Iced coffee is particularly popular, giving rise to the saying uhl-jook-ah, which means “even if I freeze to death, it’s iced americano for me.”
But that’s not enough for Jaemin from NCT, who orders double-shot americanos, then asks for six extra shots – to make a total of eight shots. We can already feel the caffeine buzz.
In July 2019, NCT members appeared on JTBC’s Idol Room as guests. The MCs prepared foods that Jaemin usually eats, including the aforementioned “deadly” americano with eight shots of espresso. Although the MCs and other members pulled faces when they tried it, Jaemin enjoyed the drink, saying, “I have to drink it like this to feel alert right away. This is just right.”
Apart from this deadly strong americano, Jaemin also loves extremely spicy and sweet foods. He once made deep-fried, sugar-glazed sweet potato wedges for his fellow NCT members, practically heaping on the sugar, and prefers to drink bubble tea with 100 per cent sugar. He even eats sugar straight-up as a snack, commenting: “I have brown sugar next to my bed. I eat it whenever I’m bored.”
