Dancers from South Korean hip hop dance group YGX, who accompanied girl group Blackpink during their first-ever shows in Vietnam last weekend, praised Vietnam's signature coffee on social media.

"I ... tried coconut coffee at Cong Coffee. Delicious!" dancer Dart Jeong wrote on his Instagram with 95,000 followers.

Coconut coffee has become a popular beverage in recent years thanks to the creaminess of the coconut milk mixed with the bitterness of coffee.

Dart also tried Vietnamese black coffee at Phuc Long shop.

Dancer Gahee posted photos on her Instagram account, with 174,000 followers, of her swimming inside the Hyatt Regency West Hanoi, around one kilometer from My Dinh National Stadium, where she and Blackpink performed.

She also visited Cong coffee shop and tried iced black coffee, one of Vietnam's signature coffee beverages.

Other dancers of YGX also visited Highlands Coffee and took selfies on Hanoi's streets.

As part of their world tour Born Pink, the four members of Blackpink stayed at the Capella Hanoi Hotel in Hoan Kiem District. They enjoyed Vietnamese dishes like pho and banh mi at a Michelin-selected restaurant inside the hotel.
