Model and TV personality Ju Woo-jae took aim at the viral dessert nicknamed 'Dubai Chonk Cookie' (두바이 쫀득 쿠키, shortened as 두쫀쿠) in a recent YouTube video. He sampled several versions, called out the steep prices—reportedly selling between 5,000 and 14,000 won each—and said items priced in the 6,000-won range felt unjustified. Promising to “eat as blandly as possible” to try to end the craze, he suggested that around 5,900 won is a reasonable price and that ordering in is fine given the effort involved in making them. His candid remarks sparked online attention as he balanced criticizing the hype while acknowledging trying the trend for content.
