In recent years, dairy products have enjoyed a rise in popularity, with cheese becoming a popular topping for Korean dishes and milk serving as a snack or meal replacement. Accordingly, South Korea tried to increase the production of dairy products and launched the label “K-milk” for consumers who prefer purchasing domestic products. Due to the high consumption of dairy products, South Korea has become an important market for the dairy industry, often being used as a test market for products planned for Asian countries.
