[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Coway (CEO Lee Hae-seon and Seo Jang-won) announced on the 23rd that it won the Gold grade in the water taste category for water purifiers at the '5th Water Purifier and Bottled Water Taste Evaluation' conducted by the Korea International Sommelier Association.

Held in celebration of World Water Day, the water purifier and bottled water taste evaluation provided consumers with information to select safe and good-tasting products by having six national representative water sommeliers directly evaluate the water taste. Water purifiers with good water taste are assigned grades based on the evaluation, with Gold being the highest grade among current water purifier products.

As a result of this water purifier taste evaluation, two Coway products?the Coway Icon water purifier and the Hanppum Siru Direct Water purifier?were selected for the Gold grade. Coway water purifiers have been ranked first in water taste for two consecutive years since the taste evaluation began in 2018, and in this year's first evaluation under the grading system, they achieved the highest grade, Gold, among the evaluated products. Judge Park Chae-won, who participated in the evaluation, commented, "The Coway Icon water purifier has a very smooth water taste with excellent refreshment and throat feel."

Coway began research on water purifier taste in 2009 by forming a task force team and opened the 'Water Taste Research Institute' at the Coway Environmental Technology Research Center located in Seoul National University Research Park in 2019 to study clean and delicious water. Park Chan-jung, head of the Coway Environmental Technology Research Center, said, "The Coway water purifier, selected as having the best water taste for three consecutive years, is the result of Coway's dedication to water through research and development." He added, "We plan to continue our best efforts in water taste and filter research to provide customers with clean and delicious water."
