According to the county on December 9, the "K-Sool Awards" were held for the first time this year to discover excellent alcoholic beverages from small and medium-sized domestic breweries, support their entry into the global market, and help improve the country's alcoholic beverage trade deficit. Out of 366 alcoholic beverages submitted by 175 breweries nationwide, only 12 products were selected as winners in each category.

"Bokbunja Eum" is a premium fruit wine made by refining and fermenting Gochang bokbunja (Korean black raspberries), and is known for its rich flavor and aroma.

In particular, the product has been recognized for its competitiveness in both domestic and overseas markets by embodying the excellence of Gochang bokbunja and the value of local agricultural products in a high-end alcoholic beverage. The award-winning products will bear the official "K-Sool Certification Mark" endorsed by the National Tax Service and will be linked to various government support programs, including overseas promotion and export assistance.

A county official stated, "The official recognition of Bae Sangmyeon Brewery's Bokbunja Eum, made from Gochang bokbunja, as a representative K-Sool of Korea is an achievement accomplished by both local farmers and businesses. We will continue to actively support the expansion of sales channels for Gochang specialty products and their entry into the global market."
