Celebrities cry and laugh over 'Du-Chun-ku'.

Following Dubai chocolate, which was popular last year, his latest variation, Dubai chewy cookie "Duzonku," has emerged as a hot dessert among celebrities.

Duchonku began to trend rapidly at the end of last year and is heating up Korea in early 2026. Duchoncu is made of pistachio spreads, cardifs, cocoa powders, etc., and it looks like a chewy rice cake on the outside, but it has a crispy inversion texture of cardif on the inside, making it a new type of dessert.

As people's demand for Duchonku has soared, domestic cafes have announced that only one can be purchased per person, and even that is difficult to obtain unless it is an open run. A store in Yeonnam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, which has been rumored to be delicious, reportedly sells out of Du Chun-ku's daily supplies within 30 minutes of opening, as well as customers lining up for an open run about an hour earlier. The price per tablet of Duchonku, the size of sticky rice cake, is by no means cheap from 5,000 won to 10,000 won.

Singer Kwon Eun-bi launched the Du-Ton-ku menu at a cafe she runs. On the 8th, Kwon Eun-bi posted a proof shot on her SNS, saying, "Du Chun-ku is a gold and silver shop," and Kwon Eun-bi's official cafe account said, "Geum Eun-bang is also on a Dubai train! Dubai Chewy Cookies Launched! "It uses 100% paste of pistachio raw material, so it is not too sweet and has a savory taste."

Jang Won-young of the group IVE recently posted on Instagram, "Look at that. I told you this is not a trend," he said, revealing a picture of himself smiling happily after eating duchonku. Jang Won-young showed off her extraordinary love for Du Chun-ku by showing off the cacao powder on her lips.

Jang Won-young appeared on the YouTube channel 'Dex's Cold Interview' in January last year and said, "I still have Dubai chocolate in my heart. These days, I still buy it whenever I think of it, he said. "The first trend in 2025 is Dubai chocolate." Jang Won-young also said on her YouTube channel "Channel Sipoya" in August last year, "I'm hooked on Dubai chocolate. "This is not a trend, this is Steady," he said, expressing extraordinary affection.

Singer and actress Kim Se-jung also recently posted on social media, "What's going on. If it's this much power, you've built a country? "Princess Sejeong of the world. Thank you for making it for me," he said, certifying several Duchonku items that appear to have been given as gifts by his acquaintance. Kim Se-jung, who tasted the tofu made by her acquaintance, said, "It's the best ever." It is a moment when Du Chun-ku was also recognized as a "precious gift."

Singer Kang Min-kyung boasted of her extraordinary power at the opening ceremony of her brand company in 2026, saying, "The highlight of the opening ceremony is Duchonku or Duchon Kim," and that she gave employees a long version like Duchonku's Gimbap.

Singer Jeon So-mi said, "It's crazy, I'm crazy on December 31st," showing her sincerity in buying ingredients and making dutzoncu. Jeon So-mi revealed the cooking process by cutting the cardif side, baking it in a pan, and applying pistachio threads. However, a unique shape without cocoa powder came out, and Jeon So-mi said, "I will not follow the trend from next year."

Chef Ahn Sung-jae, a judge on Netflix's "Black and White Cook," was unexpectedly criticized for boarding the Du Chun-ku craze. On the 24th of last month, Chef Ahn released a video of making "Du-Chun-ku" with his daughter and son on the YouTube channel "Chef Ahn Sung-jae" and disappointed his daughter by showing a completely different shape of Du-Chun-ku in his own way.

Netizens also pointed out by posting more than 9,000 comments, including, "Don't make Dubai hard energy Gangjeong, not Dubai chewy cookies," "Hurry up and make Du-Chun-ku again," and "I think it's the first time Chef Ahn Sung-jae has received so many malicious comments in his life." As such a reaction poured out, Chef Ahn Sung-jae seemed to be conscious of public opinion, and later released a picture of Du Chun-ku sold on the market, drawing laughter.

"Du-Chun-ku Mukbang" was also made into an AI parody. As the movie "Avatar: Fire and Ash" (director James Cameron) gained popularity in Korea, an AI video was posted in which the main character Jake ordered duchonku at a cafe and ate it deliciously. The video drew another buzz with 2 million views.
