Natural Spring Water from Baekdusan Volcanic Springs

Last year, as the domestic bottled water market size surpassed 2 trillion won, consumers who value the source of bottled water are paying attention to Nongshim Baeksansu.


Most bottled water is sourced by installing pipes underground to extract groundwater. Experts say that during this process, there is a possibility of mixing with water veins, and it is also difficult to maintain a consistent mineral ratio throughout the year.

On the other hand, Baeksansu is distinctly different in that it is natural spring water from Baekdusan that flows up on its own. Additionally, according to a recent survey of the Baeksansu water source, Baeksansu is water that has slowly flowed through a 45 km long volcanic bedrock layer for about 40 years. Over the long period during which the acidity changed four times, impurities were filtered out, and the water became rich in beneficial natural minerals, resulting in Baeksansu, the only Baekdusan spring water in Korea.


Baeksansu boasts consistent water quality throughout the year as it is spring water naturally flowing from the only domestic water source without external pressure. Furthermore, the survey showed no difference in mineral content between the source water and the produced Baeksansu. A water expert explained, “No matter how good the quality of water is, if there is a difference in mineral content depending on the season or a difference between the source water and the product, it cannot be considered good water.”



From an environmental perspective, since the water naturally springs up, there is no risk of environmental damage or depletion. A Nongshim official stated, “Baeksansu is truly a gift that nature of Baekdusan gives us.”
