Jin enlisted in the army last December and is currently under the management of the 5th Division...This also means that he will not be able to carry out independent business activities. So, was it surprising to hear the news of Jin starting his own brand?
But in fact, it happened and fans also discovered that the first products from Jin's factory had reached the BTS members. Specifically, Jin's brand was commercially registered a short time before he enlisted and currently, his products can be distributed.
Are you curious about the products produced by Jin and how to buy them? But really, it is very difficult to buy such "precious" things. So, let's see the information about them below:
On this day, even when BTS fully enlists, it seems ARMYs do not feel alone because the group clearly has a lot of preparations for their fans. From the song that Jimin gave ARMYs for Christmas to, documentaries, books and most recently, the song V gave to fans on his birthday. ARMYs are very busy with the content that the group has prepared in advance.
Not only that, j-hope is also returning to Instagram in recent days and bringing fans interesting images. Most notable among them is a bottle of wine with a special appearance and seemingly impossible to find sold anywhere. Even though the alcohol bottle looks like a wine, the label is marked with: "To my special people/ Made by Jin", surprising fans.
It turns out that this is a bottle of wine under Jin's brand and it was also made by him after learning the recipe from traditional ḳöŕệän liquor-making expert - Park Rok Dam. Not only that, in December last year, ḳöŕệän media also buzzed about the news that Jin decided to build a winery to ℓєgαℓly publish the wine he made after participating in the TV show "The Drunken Truth".
Apparently, all procedures to ℓєgαℓize Jin's winery were completed while he was in the army and the wine was also matured. Now, Jin is releasing it to BTS members and close ones. Although currently, Jin cannot commercialize the alcohol products he makes (if he intends to) due to m̴i̴l̴i̴t̴a̴r̴y̴ management, but who knows, in the future, he can promote this on a larger scale and we can buy wine made by him.
Besides, Jin's wine brand is not just an ordinary wine brand but it has been thoroughly verified and managed by the master (master Park Rok Dam). Specifically, on Jin's alcohol bottle label, “Honey Jar of Butterfly”, there is word "flames in the water(물에 가둔 불)". It is symbolizes "Park Rokdam's style(박록담류)". Among the traditional liquor made by the master's disciple, only alcohol that has been recognized for its taste by the master can be inscribed on the label. If you look at the labels of other alcoholic beverages, the wording is quite similar. It means that Seokjin's alcohol has been recognized by Master Park Rokdam.
Even after being adopted, if it is not qualified taste, it is excluded from label. It is checked periodically by master so all liquor maintain high quality. Among the commercialized traditional ḳöŕệän alcoholic beverages, "Jiranjigyo(지란지교)," one of the most well-known traditional liquor to ḳöŕệän public, is also Park Rokdam master label. It has also been sold on large platforms such as Kakao. It is the same as the brand certification mark of traditional ḳöŕệän alcoholic beverages.
Therefore, it can be seen that Jin did not just do it simply but really devoted himself to his wine brand. He also dedicated his precious first batches of wine to those most special to him. Upon hearing this news, fans expressed their desire to enjoy this limited product once:
- congrats on the completion of Kim Seokjin Brewery~ tho' its sad I can't drink, but army is ready to buy when it h̾i̾t ̾s the store (if he decides to sell it)
- Make it global please. Fans also want it too, Jin-nim
- Wow, CEO #JIN is ready to conquer the alcohol industry!!!
- Can someone please distribute it here in the Philippines.. I'd buy it..
- Entrepreneur Kim Seokjin. Looks like his brewery formalities are complete. He wanted to gift his alcohol that’s why a brewery was needed. Whatever he wishes, he makes it happen with his hard work, creativity and invention. It seems to me that another episode of Drunken Truth…
- I'm excited for Jin. BTS members are the ones who get special products from CEO Jin first
- Jin would make a FORTUNE! If he sell it, ARMY will buy it.
- OMG, our talented Seokjinie, I also want to try it, wish that Hobie can share details about this
Meanwhile, when talking about Jin's decision to establish a wine brand, chef Baek Jong Won, who introduced artist Park Rok Dam to Jin, said: "After 'Drunken Truth', Jin decided to create his own brand of alcohol. If he starts a distillery and enlists in the army, during that time the wine will be brewed and mature. Jin wants announced the wine he did ℓєgαℓly, so he started a distillery. If he doesn't have a winery and doesn't have a brand, it's against the liquor tax law to want to share the wine he makes."
Previously, Jin also mentioned in a Weverse Live that he loves giving alcohol to his group members and even ARMY. However, because distributing alcohol in large quantities in ḳöŕệä is against the law, Jin cannot give it away but must invite the members to his house and drink alcohol together. Now, Jin has fulfilled his wish, even while he is in the army!
