KAL JFK Lounge "Cinnamon Soda"
I know this is kind of an odd post, however, I was in the KAL first class lounge this evening at JFK's Terminal One and I noticed that they have some sort of delicious Cinnamon Soda/ juice only available to their first class passengers. It's not even on the business class side of the lounge!
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this/ knows what kind of beverage it is and if I can purchase it anywhere online?!

If you go to any Korean/Asian supermarket, look for a can of this. That is unless you want to make it yourself. That Vilac (made by Korean Yakult) I believe is the most famous brand of the drink. They're also famous (even more so) for their shikhye (sweet rice drink).

I wonder what makes it special so that it's only found on the FCL side and not the BCL side. Like others who have chimed in, it's a popular traditional Korean drink and by no means considered "special" to the ordinary Korean folks.

Ive used the lounge at JFK as economy + morning calm (so not FC) and they had the drink there too; in the can, located with the other canned beverages.
