  It was the ‘price’ that was the determinant factor of success in the beginning but now it’s the ‘amount.’ There are more and more cafes where they provide big size Americano which has the size of almost 1L. Additionally, big sized markets are trying out bigger instant coffee menus. This big sized coffee is especially popular among young people which reflects today’s recession and low employment.

Coin singing rooms have been one of the popular things around busy areas and college streets. You can sing two songs only for 500 KRW and it is perfect for individuals (Original Korean Karaoke requires minimum of 30 minutes of usage. It’s difficult to sing for half an hour alone and the price is too high). The singing room is popular among young adults who try to save money. It is difficult to determine whether such trend will stay for long but it certainly looks like a strong competitor to original karaoke.

*Karaoke
A place where instrumental music of selected songs are played in soundproof rooms. It is less popular than before but there is still much Karaoke business in Korea.

  The sparkling water consumption has been increasing rapidly in Korea. At the beginning, the imported sparkling water such as Perrier was popular, now Korean products such as TREVI and Cho Jung sparkling water are competing with imported sparkling water. Due to the rumor that the sparkling water is good not only for digestion but also for diet and skin care, more women began to drink the sparkling water. 

  Moreover, although the consumption of Cola has been decreased due to the well-being wave, the popularity and consumption of the sparkling water is still increasing because those who seek that cooling feeling of Cola began to drink sparkling water. Since the consumption of sparkling water in Korea is still low compared to those of German France and Italy, experts says that the sparkling water market will continue to grow.
