May 2nd, Zhang Yuanying once again topped the social media trending searches in both China and South Korea. This time, it wasn't because of her stunning stage performance or her trendy fashion look, but because of a midnight live stream three months ago that she had no preparation for, which unexpectedly popularized a Chinese tea drink and even directly helped the brand establish itself in Korea.


On January 24th of this year, after finishing her trip in Guangzhou, Zhang Yuanying held a spontaneous live chat with fans at her hotel. Because she momentarily forgot to connect to the hotel WiFi, she interacted with everyone using expensive international roaming data, and casually ordered four different flavors of sugar-free Ba Wang Tea Princess during the stream.
When the first sip of the lightly iced Qingqing Nuoshan smooth tea slid down her throat, she immediately widened her eyes, covered her mouth, and instinctively shouted in Korean, "Igeomoya." The genuine surprise from her heart was free of any performance, and it was fully captured by the camera. To accurately record the name of this astonishing drink, she even paused the live stream and opened a translation app to confirm the spelling word by word. Interestingly, because her roaming data was completely exhausted at the end, she had to hurriedly say goodbye to her fans. This small accident instead made the entire live stream feel especially authentic and touching.
