South Korean star Song Joong Ki, who recently came to Taiwan as a guest presenter at the Golden Disc Awards, posted a picture on Instagram on January 12 while strolling the streets of Taipei. In the photo, he can be seen holding a pack of coriander-flavored snack “Doritos” with a satisfied smile. Former Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, known as a coriander enthusiast, also shared the post, welcoming the fellow star to Taiwan.
Song Joong Ki, with a packed schedule, took the opportunity to relax after completing his work in Taiwan. On the 12th, he shared multiple photos on IG, wearing a baseball cap and a gray hooded jacket as he walked the streets of Taipei. One of the photos captured him holding a pack of coriander-flavored Doritos, showcasing his fondness for this unique snack flavor.
Additionally, he was seen carrying a dual-purpose shopping bag while strolling the streets of Taipei, enjoying coffee, shopping, and fully immersing himself in the local lifestyle, becoming a great ambassador for Taipei city.
After the post was exposed for 12 hours, it garnered 450,000 likes. Former Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen commented, “Doritos Coriander Flavor, good choice. Welcome to Taiwan!” with a thumbs-up emoji.
Netizens jokingly commented, “Coriander experts meet,” “Where there’s coriander, there’s a coriander-loving president,” “Even though Little Ying has retired, her diplomacy is still at a hundred percent.”
In fact, a netizen recently shared a unique way of eating by sprinkling a lot of coriander on peanut ice cream on Threads. At that time, Tsai Ing-wen commented, “I’m not sure if this is a consumption method with social consensus…” Now, her comment on Song Joong Ki’s coriander-related post has made netizens say, “It turns out it’s not just social consensus, it’s international consensus.”
