Who is Daebak?
Daebak Company, wants to inspire people to discover more about Korean culture even while they’re abroad and can’t travel to Korea. Started in Los Angeles in 2015 under the name SnackFever with just $500 and a dream, a small team banded together to inspire, empower, and united the global Hallyu community.
In 2018, the whole team picked up and moved from Los Angeles to Seoul to offer even more great snacks and even more Korean products as well as offering shipping all over the world directly from Korea. They want to give people the opportunity to experience Korea here, there, and everywhere.
In 2020, they changed their name to Daebak and the rest is history. The company doesn’t just create subscription boxes either, they create them and are well-known for them absolutely, but they also sell some of your favorite K-pop merchandise, K-beauty products, stationary, and more.

What we got:
The summer Daebak box was devoted to the Damyang Juknokwon Bamboo Forest. Meant to cool you off in the summer heat and humidity and promote the bamboo forests and sustainability of the bamboo forests, this box had some great products from Korea.
Dr. Noah Toothbrush and Bag: This has been my favorite sustainable toothbrush brand in Korea for awhile. Dr. Noah made the first bamboo toothbrushes fully produced in South Korea and they’re on a mission to stop the use of plastic toothbrushes in Korea and abroad. Great company, great products.
Bamboo Backscratcher: A fun little product that is easy to carry, this bamboo backscratcher is adjustable and can relieve any itch. My daughter loved it and my husband did too. Who doesn’t like to itch that scratch?
Mini Rattan Bag: A nice woven bag great for your toiletries. My daughter loved this and took it as her own immediately.
Bamboo Leaf Tea (ํ๋ฏธ๋์์ฐจ): A caffeine-free tea made from Damyang bamboo leaves, take a sip and enjoy the benefits of Korean tea.
IIDA Hand Cream: This hand cream will make you feel like you’re walking through a forest. The scent is tree bark and wet grass and is very calming. The hand cream has a high concentration of shea butter to keep hands moisturized but not sticky.
TenZero Clear Fit Heartleaf Cream:ย A great cream from a company I haven’t tried before but am very interested in now, it’s hydrating and contains houttuynia cordata extract for a soothing cooling feel great for the summer.
