This application relates to a coating method of lactic acid bacteria and a lactic acid bacteria complex produced by the coating method, the coating method comprising: (a) a step of culturing lactic acid bacteria in a medium including casein and coating the lactic acid bacteria with casein; (b) a step of mixing the casein-coated lactic acid bacteria with a solution comprising a coating agent, an edible oil, an extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) of Lactobacillus plantarum and alginic acid; and (c) a step of adding the mixture of step (b) to a calcium-containing solution to form alginic acid-calcium beads, wherein the alginic acid-calcium beads contain the casein-coated lactic acid bacteria, the coating agent, the edible oil, and the EPS of Lactobacillus plantarum are contained within the alginic acid-calcium beads.
