I don't mind it, just prefer butter milk batter over cornstarch batters.

We've got two korean chicken places by me buuuuuuuut we also have a massive amount of korean and asian businesses opening up in my neck of the woods. As a fan of hotpot, kbbq, shaved ice, and boba, I'm totally okay with this

Never heard of it.

Guess it hasn't taken over my part of the world.

Same, here (In Indonesia) we already had different yet still popular as the one from Kentucky. It's called "Ayam Lalapan," a combination between deep fried chicken (no crispy/flour skin) with fried tofu/tempe, cucumber, and spicy chili sauce we called "Sambal."
