Kapanlagi.com - The Korean entertainment industry is also one of the things affected by the corona virus outbreak. Many events have been canceled due to the outbreak. Not only us as ordinary people, but idols also have to undergo self quarantine by isolating themselves at home.

Quoting Koreaboo, on Saturday (28/3/2020) there are several activities carried out by K-Pop idols to eliminate boredom during this self-quarantine. Well, here are various activities of K-Pop idols that you might be able to imitate during work from home!

1. Making 'Dalgona Coffee'

Dalgona coffee seems to be a very popular drink among idols lately. There are many idols who have tried making this drink. They upload tutorial videos on how to make dalgona coffee with their own versions.

Dalgona coffee itself is taken from the name of a traditional Korean candy. This drink is made from a mixture of coffee, sugar, and water that is stirred for a long time to produce a thick foam. The foam from the mixture is then mixed with milk and ice cubes.

Some idols known to have tried making dalgona coffee include Mina TWICE, Byeongkwan A.C.E, and Hyunjae The Boyz.

2. Playing 'Animal Crossing'

Only one week has passed since the release of the game Animal Crossing, and now this video game has taken over all social media. So, it's no wonder that some idols are also addicted to playing this game.

The game launched by Nintendo Switch requires players to complete various simple tasks virtually such as fishing and building to create a new island. Some idols who play this game include Jihyo and Mina TWICE, Rose and Jennie BLACKPINK, and Seulgi Red Velvet.
