As mentioned above, a game played using a dalgona with a pattern on the surface. Dalgona is cheap and the method itself is easy, but it is quite difficult to do it properly, and whether you succeed or fail, you can enjoy the taste of dalgona, and it is possible because it does not require much space or effort. It is unclear where and how it started, but if you know Dalgona in the whole country, it has become a game you know together. The rules are simple. If you tear off the pattern on the dalgona without damaging it, you win.
