It’s well known among Malaysian K-pop fans that Super Ring is a popular snack among idols. Members of BLACKPINK, STAYC, and N.Flying have all been unable to resist the cheesy goodness of the local treat. GOT7’s Mark Tuan even claimed they’re better than the cheese ball snacks found in the US.
It seems that two more idols have joined the list, after one introduced the snack to the other on camera. BTS member J-Hope (제이홉) recently appeared on TWICE’s Sana (사나/サナ)’s show “Fridge Interview”, where he brought along some snacks he picked up while on tour. Watch:
In the latest episode of Sana’s “Fridge Interview”, BTS’s J-Hope discussed his latest solo project and preparations for his “HOPE ON THE STREET” world tour, which recently concluded. At one point during the interview, the two idols opened the fridge, which was filled with various foods and drinks that the rapper is particularly fond of, one of which happened to be a packet of Super Ring snacks.
The 31-year-old explained the reason he liked each item in the fridge, one by one. When it came to the Malaysian snack, he revealed that he had picked it up during his trip to Singapore, where he performed at the country’s National Indoor Stadium. He described it as savoury and tasty before opening the bag to share it with Sana, who commented that it had a hint of sweetness.
The moment quickly went viral, with Malaysian fans expressing their excitement over the Super Ring mention. Many commented that if J-Hope were to perform in Malaysia, he could have all the Super Ring snacks he wanted, as they’re available in almost every convenience store across the country. Others, however, expressed disappointment that the idol didn’t specify the snack’s Malaysian origin, noting that he only mentioned picking it up in Singapore.
TWICE fans also chimed in, hoping that Sana would share the snack with her fellow members, sparking hopes that it might lead to a potential concert in Malaysia. Even though J-Hope didn’t get the snack from Malaysia, there’s no denying that Super Ring remains a superior snack among K-pop idols.
