Dalgona coffee is a special coffee specialty made from sugar, instant coffee and milk that became famous all over the world from South Korea in early 2020. Since it can be made at home and the Corona pandemic in early 2020 meant that many more people stayed at home than usual, it is sometimes referred to as "quarantine coffee". The name "Dalgona coffee" came about because the finished coffee looks similar to the Korean Dalgona biscuit.
Even the famous Korean K-pop band BTS has made Dalgona coffee and made a video about it! You can watch it here (with English subtitles):
