Korea is one of the biggest coffee-drinking nation in the world according to recent survey.
The staple food of the Koreans is changing from "rice" to "coffee".
Last year, food that Korean adults eat most frequently per week was coffee.
Koreans consume more coffee than rice, according to a '2013 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey' conducted by Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The average Korean drinks coffee 12.3 times a week, or 1.8 times a day. Next is kimchi (11.8 times), followed by multigrain rice (9.5 times) and white rice (seven times).
In 2012, Koreans drank coffee 12.1 times a week, but kimchi and white rice consumption have declined since.
It's change that appeared in 120 years ever since coffee was first introduced in Korea in 1895.
A KCDC spokesman said, "Although it is difficult to evaluate coffee consumption in terms of nutritional benefits, it is unhealthy to drink coffee with too much sugar and cream."
