I tried the Korean drink for summers, 'Hwachae', I relished it. I just wanted to inquire about the combination of milk and carbonated drink, I used sprite here. I saw an Instagram reel where the person had an upset stomach after trying this, but I also remember they used strawberry flavored milkshake, whereas I used fresh milk. Do give insights about this combination.
What I used is watermelon, muskmelon, mango, ice, sprite, milk, ice cream for topping. It tasted refreshing.

Hwachae that contains dairy is a very recent invention. Hwachae that contains a carbonated drink is a 20th-century convention, post-Korean war.
FYI.
Fresh milk is definitely closer to the custom than strawberry milkshake, but the other commenter is right – dairy is a fairly recent introduction to Korean cuisine.
