In Korea, this emoji often symbolizes 'patbingsu,' which is topped with red beans, fruit, and rice cakes. It's great for expressing the cool happiness of summer enjoyed with friends.

This emoji represents not only Korean patbingsu but also various ice desserts from around the world, like Japan's kakigori and Hawaii's shave ice. With the K-culture trend, foreigners also frequently use it when sharing their experiences of trying Korea's elaborate bingsu, such as mango or green tea bingsu.
