Interesting,
Lorendoc!
If you zoom in on Google street view, the sign says milmu
ll in “English” letters:
The Korean letters on the sign are
very stylized, so maybe the ice cream guy had a hard time reading it. Or maybe it
does say milmu
n on the sign, and the English on the sign is mistranslated.

PS: I checked out
your ice cream place on Yelp, and the pictures look fantastic! I've got to try it out, I'm a sucker for green tea (matcha) ice cream!
