Not sure. I've seen it on a lot of variety and reality shows like Infinite's Sesame Player though.

Must look this up. Any idea when it became popular or its origin?

Recently I've seen a watermelon dessert with a few variations but in general the base is the same. They take a watermelon and scoop out the insides and place it in a container. Sometimes they just add some kind of soda pop to it, it's usually clear. Other times they add a can of some kind of fruit to the watermelon along with milk and the soda pop. I'm assuming the soda is some kind of citrus or ginger soda. Does anyone know what this dessert is? It looks like it may taste good and I want to try it but I'm not sure exactly what goes in it.

Hi Everybody I saw this recipe and the first person I thought of was "The Hammer" Haha Hope you like it David Watermelon Gazpacho Is this gazpacho authentic? Probably not, but watermelon, basil oil, and cayenne salt add a summery twist to the classic cold soup. What to buy: Be sure not to use underripe tomatoes, as they will cause the soup to have a mealy consistency. Special equipment: Use a blender or an immersion blender in this recipe for a good consistency. TIME/SERVINGS Total Time: 45 mins Active Time: 25 mins Makes: 8 servings (about 12 cups) INGREDIENTS For the basil oil: 1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil 1 1/2 cups packed basil leaves For the gazpacho: 3 cups cubed day-old country bread, crust removed 3 medium garlic cloves, coarsely chopped 1/4 cup coarsely chopped basil leaves 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 3 1/2 cups coarsely chopped tomatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds) 4 1/2 cups coarsely chopped watermelon (about 1 1/2 pounds) 2 small Kirby cucumbers, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 2 2/3 cups) 1/4 cup coarsely chopped red onion 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar For the garnish: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1/2 cup minced watermelon 1/2 cup minced Kirby cucumber INSTRUCTIONS For the basil oil: 1. Blend olive oil and basil leaves together until smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Let mixture steep for about 15 minutes before using. For the gazpacho: 1. Place bread in a bowl, add water to cover (about 1/2 cup), and let soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Drain bread and squeeze out excess liquid. 2. Finely mince garlic, basil, cayenne, cumin, and salt to form a rough, sandy paste. 3. Place tomatoes, watermelon, cucumber, onion, soaked bread, and garlic paste in a large bowl and toss to mix. Let stand for about 15 minutes. 4. Working in four batches, place a quarter of the vegetable mixture in a blender (or use a hand blender), add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 2 tablespoons water, and process until smooth. Transfer the puréed soup to a large, nonreactive bowl and repeat the blending process with the remaining vegetable mixture. Whisk in vinegar and adjust seasoning to taste. For the garnish: 1. In a small bowl, mix cayenne pepper and salt until well combined. In a separate bowl, toss together watermelon and cucumber. To serve, top each bowl of gazpacho with 2 tablespoons of the watermelon and cucumber, sprinkle with cayenne salt, and drizzle with basil oil. Beverage pairing: This dish pairs well with a crisp white wine such as a Sauvignon Blanc or a Spanish Albariño. By Aida Mollenkamp

Thank you Did you get a chance to view the video ? What is was the name of the NYC Korean Restaurant you tried watermelon Soju. Do you have a favorite brand of Soju ? I like Chum-Churum - _ -; OTL What about a video of you teaching the traditional Korean way of drinking & pouring Soju. I would be happy to be your soju drinking partner... :) David H NJ

"Watermelon Soju in a watermelon"! : ) I had a chance to taste it at a Korean bar in New York a while ago. OK, I will include it in the list of my future video recipes.

Anyeong Haseyo Maangchi & Friends After watching the dakjuk video i had to make it. Luv It. The watermelon was a nice touch. I love watermelon and i love soju I know there is a Korean way to combine the two of them. I Watched this video Sik Gaek i think its a famous Korean restaurant that cooks extra fresh seafood... but in the background there is a watermelon in a bowl of ice. My request is for you to show us how to make "Watermelon Soju in a watermelon" I just think it will be fun to make for all the upcoming spring parties. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/jhk300#p/f" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/user/jhk300#p/f</a> Thanks David Hall NJ
