What is IGIN?

ICYDK, IGIN is a liquor brand that just launched in December 2024. It was created by BTS Jin in collaboration with celebrity chef Paik Jong-won and the Korea Traditional Liquor Research Institute.

IGIN’s products are made with local agricultural products such as apples, watermelons, and plums. The liquor is also based on the specialties and traditions of Yesan, Chungcheongnam-do, which is Chef Paik Jong-won’s hometown and the location of the brand’s headquarters.

Since they only started last December 2024, IGIN has a limited product line-up so far.

• IGIN Sour Tonic – a sweet and sour tonic made of apple gin and plum
• IGIN Sweet Tonic – a sweet tonic made of apple gin and watermelon
• IGIN Sangkom Tonic – a sweet and refreshing tonic made of apple gin and grapes; the latest release in IGIN’s product line-up
