Singer Hong Kyung Min brought a wave of unexpected laughter with a single photo of an affogato he ordered at a cafe.
The dessert’s visual was quite different from what he expected, leaving him bewildered. Netizens also joined in, sparking a debate with comments like “It looks like Dalgona” and “Isn’t that just Vienna coffee?”
On May 14, Hong Kyung Min shared the photo on his SNS, questioning, “Wait… am I the one who’s mistaken?”
He added, “Why does this only happen to me? Is this why they say you should just stick to what you usually eat? If I’m just going to hold it and drink it like this, I would have just ordered coffee,” which drew more laughs.
In the shared photo, the affogato appeared to have far more coffee than ice cream. The sight of the ice cream melting rapidly into the hot coffee immediately set the comment section ablaze.
Netizens reacted with comments such as, “I thought it was Dalgona,” “It gives off Vienna coffee vibes,” “Is he just mixing ice cream into coffee?”, “Isn’t there way too much coffee?”, and “At this point, shouldn’t the espresso be served separately?”
One netizen joked, “Maybe they saw him as a CEO of a rival company,” while another added to the humor by saying, “I clicked in thinking it was avocado, not affogato.”
On the other hand, some argued, “Every shop has its own style,” “Proportions vary by the person making it,” and “It’s ultimately a matter of taste,” turning the situation into a full-blown “affogato debate.”
Meanwhile, Hong Kyung Min married Haegeum player Kim Yu Na, who is 10 years his junior, in 2014, and they have two daughters.
