10 CORTIS Keonho Favorite Food COER Wants to Know
This is the CORTIS Keonho favorite food list that every COER has been curious about! I’ve picked 10. In Korea, there’s a saying that you can tell a lot about someone by what they eat. From sweet potato pizza to baeksuk that even a 40-year-old dad would love, Keonho’s taste is somewhere between a teenager and a 40-year-old, haha. Along with the Keonho food list, I’ve also prepared some fun facts about him.
If you’ve already checked out our CORTIS Martin favorite food post, you know the vibe, right? This time, it’s the CORTIS Maknae’s turn!
Who Is CORTIS Keonho?
CORTIS Keonho is the Maknae(the youngest one) of CORTIS, a 5-member boy group under BIGHIT MUSIC that debuted on August 18, 2025. CORTIS Keonho was actually a competitive swimmer before becoming an idol, and he was scouted by BIGHIT at a bus stop after swim practice when he was just in third grade!!

Top 10 Keonho Food List
Sweet Potato Pizza (Goguma Pizza)
The first on the Keonho food list is sweet potato pizza, and honestly, I think this is the most “Korean” pizza that exists. If you eat pizza for the first time in Korea, you might be a little shocked. Korean pizzas are sweet. The most iconic sweet-salty pizza is this one, pizza with sweet potato mousse on top.
Where to Try It in Korea
Many Koreans will tell you the best sweet potato pizza comes from Pizza School(Not AD!!). The price is super affordable too.
Korean Fried Chicken
The next Keonho favorite food is crispy Korean fried chicken. He prefers fried chicken over Yangnyeom chicken (sweet and spicy).

If you don’t know which brand to try in Korea, I’ve got a guide for that too, you won’t go wrong.
Salted Caramel Ice Cream
Looking at this ice cream taste, you can tell Keonho’s taste is all about the sweet and salty combo. Koreans naturally love the sweet and salty combination like bulgogi or tteokbokki. COER, are you on the sweet-and-salty team too? If so, you and Keonho are food soulmates.
Baeksuk: Korean Whole Chicken Soup
This Keonho favorite food genuinely surprised me. CORTIS Keonho might actually have the palate of a 40-year-old man. Baeksuk is a simple chicken soup made with chicken, water, garlic, and other basic ingredients. It’s very different from Samgyetang. Samgyetang uses ginseng, jujube, chestnuts, and various herbal ingredients.

Keonho’s favorite drink is the Korean strawberry latte! It’s the signature seasonal menu item at many Korean cafés during winter and spring.

Anything Made with Eggs
CORTIS Keonho says he loves anything made with eggs! In Korea, there are dishes like egg rice and egg soup.

CORTIS Keonho’s Favorite Korean Ramen
Among Korean ramens, the Keonho favorite food is Ottogi Odongtongmyeon. This ramen has thick, chewy noodles and a seafood-based broth with kelp and slightly spicy kick, but honestly, it’s not spicy at all to me, haha. It’s similar to Nongshim Neoguri but with a slightly sweeter umami flavor and a deeper broth. Keonho can’t handle spicy food. So a mild Korean ramen like this is his taste.
Bungeoppang Ssamanko
CORTIS Keonho seems to have an old-school Korean taste. I call this one the “dad ice cream.” I’ve been eating this ice cream since I was a kid, and literally every Korean dad loves it. Bungeoppang Samanko is shaped like a Korean fish-shaped bread (bungeoppang) with a crispy monaka shell on the outside, creamy ice cream inside, and sweet red bean paste. You can grab one at any convenience store in Korea.
Mom’s Touch
CORTIS Keonho loves Mom’s Touch so much that he apparently ate it every single time before swim practice. Mom’s Touch is a Korean fast food chain similar to Popeyes that sells fried chicken and chicken burgers. But because it’s Korean chicken, it’s extra crispy and super affordable.
Must-Order at Mom’s Touch
If you go to Mom’s Touch in Korea, you MUST order the Chicken Thigh Burger. It has a whole chicken thigh patty so it’s super juicy. It’s Mom’s Touch’s bestseller. (Not an ad!!)
Acai Bowl
The last on the Keonho food list is the acai bowl! The CORTIS members love acai bowls so much that they even made a song about it and collaborated with global acai brand Oakberry to create special CORTIS menu items. (Not an ad, haha)
The CORTIS x Oakberry Collaboration
The collaboration includes the CORTIS BOWL, made with banana, blueberry, granola, strawberry, and peanut butter, based on the combination the CORTIS members actually eat. There’s also a REDRED BOWL (strawberry) and GREENGREEN BOWL (kiwi, matcha).
