BLACKPINK’s Jennie’s Favorite Korean Snack, Transformed in the US!

On the 17th, Nongshim announced that it had partnered with the dessert café Noted to debut their signature menu item, the “Banana Kick Cream Doughnut,” at Noted’s first international location at Westfield in LA, USA.

The Banana Kick Cream Doughnut features rich cream infused with the soft and sweet taste and aroma of Banana Kick, topped with actual Banana Kick pieces.

Earlier last month, BLACKPINK’s Jennie appeared on the American talk show “The Jennifer Hudson Show” and, during the show, mentioned that her favorite Korean snack is “Banana Kick,” saying, “It’s been my favorite since I was little,” and adding, “You can really taste a special banana flavor.”

A Nongshim representative said, “It’s creating a huge buzz that Banana Kick is featured in the signature menu at our first overseas location,” and added, “We will continue to actively promote the Kick series so that it can grow into a global snack brand.”

Additionally, Nongshim plans to launch a new Kick series product, “Melon Kick,” on the 21st, marking the 50th anniversary of Banana Kick’s launch. The company is also aiming to expand exports to the US, Japan, and China.
