The Supreme Brand Champion award is given to one top brand of the year after a final competition among brand champions selected in each category such as whiskey, rum, gin, and tequila, based on a comprehensive evaluation including distribution networks and marketing activities. HiteJinro was previously selected as a brand champion in 2018 and 2021, and this is the first time it has been chosen as the Supreme Brand Champion.


The selection was attributed to ▲recording the highest sales volume in the spirits category with 100 million boxes (9ℓ per box) of soju products including Chamisul sold worldwide in 2022 ▲sales growth domestically and internationally despite the COVID-19 pandemic ▲expansion of entry into overseas local home channels ▲and effective marketing activities adapted to changing environments.



Hwang Jeong-ho, Executive Vice President of HiteJinro's Overseas Business Division, said, “We are pleased that HiteJinro, a leading comprehensive liquor company in Korea, was selected as the ‘Supreme Brand Champion,’ which has become a stepping stone for the globalization of soju. We will actively carry out various marketing activities using the ‘Jinro’ brand as a representative of soju globalization.”
