Lotte Liquor


Lotte Liquor is a distiller in South Korea, founded in 1926. It is the world's second leading producer of soju. It also manufactures a variety of other alcoholic beverages including red wine, Kloud beer, and whiskey.
Lotte soju is known by the brand name Chumchurum. Chumchurum means "like the first time" in Korean. The bottles are branded with pictures of a Korean magpie and a bud. In South Korea, the magpie is known as a bird that brings good news, and a new bud symbolizes "new" and "beginning".
Chumchurum contains 19.5% of alcohol and is made with alkali water, which give the soju a distinct taste. The company recommends shaking the bottle well before drinking it, for taste – as in the commercial.
Chumchurum is advertised by Korean famous singer Lee Hyori. From November 2012 the liquor is advertised by Hyuna, Hara & Hyorin.
The company's current president is Jae Hyeok Lee.
