Ningning Of Aespa Predicts Stir-Fried Eggplant To Be South Korea’s Next Chinese Hit

Giselle and Ningning from aespa recently appeared on YouTube’s ‘Psick Show’, adding vitality to the already raucous act. Ningning, the Chinese aespa member, was highlighted with a culturally relevant question during the lively conversation with the rowdy hosts: After tanghulu (candied fruit skewers) and malatang (a Sichuanese hotpot) became famous in South Korea, which Chinese food did she predict would be next?

Ningning startled the hosts by suggesting stir-fried eggplant as South Korea’s next culinary fad after some thought. The hosts were impressed by her prognosis.


Ningning explained that the savory stir-fried eggplant had luscious eggplant, robust potatoes, and flavorful pork.

The excitement led the male hosts to joke about opening a stir-fried eggplant restaurant in Gangnam’s posh area. Ningning’s distinctive chuckle added delight to the interview and endeared her to the audience.
