Every K-Pop fan chooses a bias, yet every K-Pop fan knows that sometimes having a particular bias is not a choice. Sometimes your bias chooses you. There's just a special charm that they have that grabs a hold of you.
It is always fun to imagine how compatible you and your bias are, or if your biaswrecker is going to come in and steal their spotlight.

Do you know what is the latest K-Beauty trend taking over the world? It is none other than "tanghulu lips"!
After the sweet candied fruit snack went viral last year, beauty enthusiasts in Korea took to creating this look or, rather, rebranding an existing lip look in this way, true to the trend of food-related looks like "strawberry makeup", "latte makeup", and so on.
So, what is the "tanghulu lips" look, you ask?
Just like tanghulu looks glossy, shiny, and juicy because of the hardened sugar coating on fruits, the "tanghulu lips" look aims for a similar high-shine, glowy, and bouncy appearance.

The main principle behind the "tanghulu lips" is a flush of color and a layer of gloss.
You can achieve this look with multiple products or even just one single product, depending on the texture and consistency you prefer.
Similarly, while Koreans are mostly going for the "strawberry tanghulu" look, it's not necessarily the only option you have.
The strawberry tanghulu look can be too bright for you or could wash you out, depending on your skin's undertone. I personally opt for a darker berry shade.
So, instead of recommending products with specific shades, I'll recommend some products below that worked for me in terms of formula, feel, and achieving the desired result, and you can pick the shade that best suits you!
Then, take a look at these K-Beauty products that can help you achieve "tanghulu lips" easily at home!
💋 The Jang WonYoung Combo - rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint + rom&nd Glasting Water Gloss
rom&nd
This lip combo has gone viral time and time again for achieving the "doll lips" look that IVE's Jang WonYoung is famous for. However, this same exact lip combo also works for creating the "tanghulu lips" because the Juicy Lasting Tint offers the perfect touch of color that's neither too overwhelming nor too subtle, and the Glasting Water Gloss adds a plumping, sparkly juiciness to the lips.
Buy rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint here and rom&nd Glasting Water Gloss here.
💋 fwee 3D Voluming Gloss + fwee 3D Changing Gloss
Olive Young
fwee is one of the hottest K-Beauty brands going viral right now. So, if you've been looking for a new K-Beauty lip product, you do not want to miss out on fwee. The 3D Voluming Gloss is extremely comfortable on the lips without feeling sticky and gives the lips volume without the sting of lip plumpers. The shade range is impressive and you can choose between 30% tint or 70% tint for each shade, based on your preference.

While you can use the fwee 3D Voluming Gloss by itself, you can amplify the "tanghulu" look by maximizing the gloss layer with the fwee 3D Changing Gloss. Even real tanghulu wouldn't look as shiny as your lips with this product.
Buy fwee 3D Voluming Gloss here and fwee 3D Changing Gloss here.
💋 Amuse Bebe Tint
Amuse's Instagram
Amuse is an extremely popular K-Beauty brand in Korea. The Amuse Bebe Tint, is the perfect product for achieving the "tanghulu lips", especially if you're looking to do so with one product only.
Amuse's Instagram
The Amuse Bebe Tint is described as a hydrating lip oil tint that creates a healthy tinted glow while nourishing and caring for your lips. It comes in 8 shades, with choices for warm, cool, and neutral undertones, so there should be something for everyone.
Peripera has garnered as much love and attention overseas as it has in Korea. This recommendation list would not be complete without the viral Peripera Ink Mood Glowy Balm.
As the name suggests, this is a balmy product with tint, so you get the color, the shine, and the care - all in the same product! The melted texture of the balm looks gorgeous and juicy but never feels heavy on the lips, even if you keep retouching. The tint lasts for a long time and never disappoints.
So, there you have it! Those are our recommended K-Beauty products for getting "tanghulu lips". You can also mix and match the products mentioned above. For instance, if you have the rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint and the fwee 3D Changing Gloss, it's totally fine to create a combo using those two products, and you'll still achieve your "tanghulu lips".
Similarly, if you own a lip product that's not mentioned above but falls in the same category (that is, lip tint, lip balm, or gloss), that works perfectly fine too!
Just take the recommendations as a guide, and don't be afraid to experiment!
After all, it's all about having fun!

Korea is a trendsetting nation in every sense of the phrase. For instance, Korea is known for its nearly unmatched food culture and it seems that a new food item is released or trending every other day.
Would you try mint-chocolate-flavored fried chicken? Are you curious about the endless varieties of croffle that seem to be available in Korea? These are some of the food trends that took precedent in Korea in recent years. As we've said, however, the food trends in Korea are always changing. As such, we've decided to look at some of the most recent ones.
In case you missed it, we've listed some of the foods that went viral in Korea in 2023 and were endorsed by some of your favorite celebrities.
1. Tanghuru
Tanghuru (탕후루 in Korean) is a Chinese traditional snack that has taken Korea by storm. The snack, which is made from fruits covered in a sugar coating, can be found at almost every corner of the city. Some of the fruits used to make tanghuru include grapes, cherry tomatoes, tangerines, strawberries, pineapples, kiwiㄴ, etc.
K-Celebs have been showing their love for this snack throughout the year as it has gained popularity. It has become trendy content to show yourself eating tanghuru for the first time, 새ㅐ.
For example, when Chuu tried tanghuru for the first time, she explained how she had never eaten it before because of how unhealthy it looked but ended up saying it was delicious.
Recently, model Han HyeJin also went viral for her reaction to the super sweet treat considering that she's a health fanatic. Despite not usually eating sweet things, even Han HyeJin was surprised at how much she enjoyed this treat.
Even BLACKPINK's JiSoo and Jennie are known for loving the snack and making it at home. In this video, the duo expertly speak about how important the sugar ratio of good tanghuru is. This video was taken 3 years ago, before tanghuru became extremely popular. Trust the trendsetting icons to be ahead of the trend!
2. Yakgwa
Yakgwa (약과 in Korean) is a Korean traditional dessert in the form of a honey cookie. It has a coated sweet exterior and a warm slightly gooey texture on the inside that tastes like honey delight.
2AM's Jo Kwon did a detailed review of the different kinds of yakgwa treats that are available at the moment. This includes the original yakgwa, financiers, cookies, pretzels, cake, and more. He truly showed how delectable the dessert is with some honest and entertaining commentary. Jo Kwon's video also highlighted how the yakgwa trend spread as the traditional dessert took on numerous modern adaptations. These days one can even find yakgwa ice cream at the convenience store!
3. Sogeum bbang
Sogeum bbang (소금빵 in Korean) is literally translated to 'salt bread' and is a combination of different bread styles to create a salted butter roll. It has been all the rage with different versions of the bread being sold all over Korea.
In an episode of "I Live Alone", famous golfer Park SeRi ventured to a popular bakery in the Seongsu neighborhood of Seoul in search of sogeum bbang. Unfortunately, the hot item was already sold out. This only shows how popular this pastry is.
Other K-Celebs have also shown their love for their bread, posting it on their social media feeds. For example, DAVICHI's Kang MinKyung has posted several times on her Instagram (both on her Instastories and her feed) about the bread. She even took to her Instastory, sharing a photo of sogeum bbang and asking why there are so many delicious things to eat in this world. Well, that's a question that we're all asking ourselves!

4. Mara tteokbokki
Last but not least, we have mara tteokbokki. If rosé tteokbokki and maratang were the food trends in Korea in 2022... 2023 is all about mara tteokbokki which combines the classic tteokbokki with mara sauce. Mara sauce gives off a spicy but slightly tangy and flavorsome taste. This tteokbokki combines the mara sauce with the usual offerings that go into a maratang such as meat, tofu ingredients like noodles, and more.
OH MY GIRL's Mimi ate mara tteokbokki on her famous mukbang channel quite recently. Despite the dish being super spicy, Mimi kept emphasizing how tasty the dish was. It's no wonder that it has become so popular, especially among fans of spicy foods.
