Thematic has been employed to analyse the data. Findings: This study revealed four (4) key themes including; Media Influences, Social Influences, Curiosity, and Taste, which trigger the younger generation to consume Korean Food. The study elucidates how social media platforms influence culinary preferences, driven by curiosity and social influences. Additionally, the appeal of Korean cuisine's taste, particularly its spiciness, resonates with Malaysian palates. Conclusion: Understanding the multifaceted influences on culinary preferences can guide efforts to preserve Malaysia's traditional cuisine while acknowledging the global appeal of Korean food among younger generations. However, this study is limited to exploring factors affecting the younger demographic and cannot be generalized to a broader population. Future research is recommended to validate these findings using a statistical analysis, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics shaping culinary preferences in Malaysia.
