Other celebrities have endorsed Milkis. For example, Wanna One promoted Yo-Hi Water (one of the lactic acid versions) in 2017, while BTS’ RM and Suga made an impromptu ad for Milkis during the first episode of Suchwita (2022) .

There’s nothing like a cool beverage on a hot summer day. And Koreans have a few tasty options. Today, we’re here to tell you about the Korean milkis drink and how you can enjoy it, too. What Is Milkis? While Milkis is quite popular with Koreans, it doesn’t seem to appear as often in k-dramas as soju, makgeolli, or even iced Americano. However, it does appear in Reply 1988 (2015). Lotte Chilsung’s slogan was “New feeling of soda beverage,” and Milkis is certainly a different kind of soda! Besides its regular flavor, you can also find it in strawberry, muskmelon, mango, orange, and peach, to name a few. There are even two versions with lactobacillus for extra probiotics!Carbonated Water, Corn Syrup, Sugar, Skimmed Milk Powder, Citric Acid, Yogurt Flavour, Phosphoric Acid

You can also use milkis in a glaze for pastries, breads, and cakes, as Tours les Jours did when they collaborated with Milkis in 2021.

Customer reviews

Milkis was first sold in South Korea by Lotte Chilsung Beverage Co. in April 1989. Unlike the name suggests, this soft drink has no real milk. Instead, it contains skimmed milk powder and milk flavor, which are added to carbonated water. Milkis is great on its own, but Koreans love experimenting with this soda. For starters, you can get milkis-flavored ice cream and shaved ice (bingsu, 빙수), which is perfect for hot weather.
