 Abstract 

Dalgona, a traditional Korean street candy, is a nostalgic treat made from melted sugar and baking soda. Popularized in the 1970s and 1980s, it features a light, crunchy texture and is often stamped with fun shapes. The candy gained global attention through its appearance in the TV series Squid Game, sparking renewed interest. Street vendors typically challenge buyers to cut out the shape without breaking it, turning the candy into a playful experience. Dalgona reflects Korean cultural heritage, blending simplicity with creativity. Its recent resurgence highlights the enduring charm of traditional snacks in modern pop culture and international culinary trends.
