‘Rosé sauce’ as we know it is mainly used for making Western-style dishes such as pasta and risotto. The name “Rose,” meaning rose in Italian, was given to the fact that tomato sauce is mixed with cream to give it a pink color. However, the popular ‘Rosé Tteokbokki’ uses red pepper paste instead of the tomato sauce used in Italian food. The taste of rosé, which is well combined with gochujang and soft cream, became a success factor in the slightly boring tteokbokki market, and created a trend called ‘K-Rosé’. However, this popularity has caused problems with recipe duplication and is still awaiting a court ruling.

In fact, the birth of K-Rosé dates back several years. In 2016, when the addictive spicy Buldak Stir-fried Noodles became popular, a recipe that neutralized the spicy taste by adding milk or cream to people who couldn’t eat spicy food became a hot topic on social media such as Twitter and YouTube, and this became the basis Recently, through broadcasting, idols are eating Rosé Tteokbokki, and their popularity is getting steeper.

Black Pink’s Rosé also mentioned Rosé Tteokbokki in the MBC entertainment program aired on February 13th, saying, “It tastes different from the existing tteokbokki because it tastes like rose sauce. It’s delicious.” He showed off a great eating show. EXO’s Baekhyun also held a Rosé Tteokbokki mukbang on Naver Live on February 15th, saying, “I can’t eat really spicy, but Rosé Tteokbokki is a little spicy. It’s delicious,” he exclaimed. The reaction of consumers who have actually tried Rosé Tteokbokki is also positive. Not only does it satisfy those who have stayed away from tteokbokki because of its spicy taste, but there are also those who are new to tteokbokki fans who fall in love with the taste of rose sauce.

* Mukbang is compound word for “eating” and “broadcast” in Korea.
