Korean flavours have taken the world by storm, infiltrating our snack cabinets, restaurants and social media feeds. But does this global culinary takeover hit the mark? A man's viral review of Korean-flavoured snacks has sparked debate. In a video shared on Instagram, comedian Govind Menon requested snack companies to stop making any more Korean-flavoured chips and treats. He said, "Stop making Korean as a flavour, enough, we've had enough. You can't just put in Korean as a flavour and then expect it to work."

Govind further criticised Korean-flavoured makhana and instant noodles, saying that they don't have any specific Korean taste. He quipped that, going by the trend, in the next year, we will have Korean-flavoured paan masala. "Then what, what do we do with Korean flavoured Rajnigandha?" he concluded.
