Convenience store freezers full of ice cream.
Last year, it is estimated that the size of the domestic ice cream market exceeded 2 trillion won for the first time.
More than 4,2 unmanned stores have sprung up across the country, and more customers are buying multiple stores at once.
Competition among companies is also increasing.
The product, which is made from two identical shapes of traditional melon-flavored ice cream, has sold more than 3 million units since its launch in late March.
The flavors have also been diversified by the unusual combination.
Chestnut-flavored ice cream has been combined with the existing red bean popsicle bar, and honey butter confectionery and carrot-flavored ice cream have also appeared.

Ice cream with rice wine flavor contains less than 1% alcohol, but minors cannot buy it as it uses alcohol.
[Ji Ji-gon/Seocho-gu, Seoul: I was worried about what to do if it smelled a little too much, but it seems to be an ice cream that you can eat very deliciously without such a thing, ice cream for adults.]
