The Dark Forest Hallychino blends Amarena cherries from Bologna, Italy, with chocolate to deliver a bright, tart pop and indulgent sweetness in every sip. Fans asked for its return for months after it was discontinued.

Hollys is also bringing back fruit-forward Hallychinos that scream summer. The Blueberry Yogurt Hallychino pairs a tangy yogurt base with sweet blueberries for a refreshingly sweet-and-tart profile, while the Apple Mango Hallychino layers in sweet mango cubes for extra chew and texture.

Just ahead of peak heat, Hollys is launching five bingsu varieties. The lineup ranges from classic flavors that highlight their core ingredients—red bean and mango—to trendy cup bingsu with unexpected twists like tomato and aesabi.

The shareable classic bingsu for two to three people includes the Red Bean-Loaded Bingsu, piled high with red beans, and the Mango-Loaded Bingsu, a fruity standout.

The Red Bean-Loaded Bingsu stacks soft milk ice with plenty of domestically sourced red beans and chewy glutinous rice cakes, giving you an authentic, comforting bingsu experience. The Mango-Loaded Bingsu combines sweet mango with crunchy coconut for bright fruit flavor and satisfying texture.

The unexpected tomato-and-bingsu mashup is a head-turner. The Tomato Refreshing Cup Bingsu features fresh tomato flesh on top to showcase the crisp, summery flavor of ripe tomatoes. The cool tomato and sweet milk ice create a subtle, thirst-quenching balance.

The Aesabi Tok-Tok Cup Bingsu dials back the sharper sour notes of aesabi and cranks up a bright, refreshing taste that’s easy for anyone to enjoy. Hollys is also offering a classic red bean cup bingsu topped with konjac-puffed bits—called the Red Bean Tongtong Cup Bingsu—for a lighter, crisp bite.
