Milk is a popular drink in Korea, but people drink less of it these days. Recent reports say that milk consumption is now the lowest in about 40 years.

In 2025, Koreans drank less milk than usual. One reason is that children drink the most milk. But fewer children are being born in Korea.

Also, many people now choose other drinks, like soy milk or almond milk. These drinks are easy to buy and last longer than fresh milk.

Milk can spoil quickly, so some people do not buy it often. It can also be more expensive than other drinks.

Instead, other dairy foods like cheese and yogurt are becoming more popular. Many people enjoy these foods as snacks or during meals.
