(한국알콜)Navigating Changes in the Soju Market

 

  Hey there, folks! I'm the big cheese over at 한국알콜, where we're all about crafting the alcohol used to make that famous Korean drink, Soju. You've probably heard of Soju, right? Well, Soju makers rely on our alcohol to make their magic happen. We take alcohol and refine it unitl it's a concentrated 100% pure spirit. Now, here's the scoop - the Korean government keeps a tight lid on the number of alcohol makers, limiting it to just ten conpanies. So, you could say our business enjoys some cozy government protection, keeping new competitors at bay. 

 

  But here's the twist - the Soju maket has taken a nosedive lately. You see, Koreans used to love getting together for some Soju after a hard day's work. But times have changed, my friend. Korean society has embraced individualism, and fewer people are eager to gather for drinks. Instead, they're sipping a beer solo or with close pals at home while binge-watching Netflix. Not only that, but wines and whiskies have also staked their claim in the drinking game. Consumers now have a plethora of options, so they're not sticking to Soju alone. 

 

  Given this challenge, we've set out sights on antoher industry - semiconductor materials. Believe it or not, alcohol and cleaning go hand in hand. The semiconductor manufacuring process requires extreme cleanliness, and that means a whole lot of cleaning materials. So, we're repurposing out alcohol products for this industry. That's how we're tackling these hurdles head-on. Cheers to new opportunities !

  Hello, everyone ! I'm the head honcho over at 한국알콜. We are all about crafting alchol used to make a Soju in Korea. I think you've probably heard of Sojus. Soju makers need our alchol to make it. We refine alchol to take condensed 100% alchol. Korean government restricts the amount of alchol makers up to 10 companies. So, I can say our business is protected by the govenment not for other new competitors to join in.

 

  But, here is the kicker - a soju market has been going down rapidly. Koreans usually used to drink soju when they eat out after they leave their work. But, now that korean society's got individualism, no koreans don't wanna get together for drinking. They just drink a beer alone or with closed friends at their home, watching Netflix. And, wines and whiskies've got into drinking market, either. Consumers've got a lot of drinking options, which means they don't need to drink only soju. 

 

  Since we face this challenge, we're eyeing at other industry like materials for semiconductors. You know, alchol really goes well with cleaning something. Manufacturing semiconductor should be in very clean processes. So, it need a lot of cleaning materials. So, we're appling our alcho products to this industry. This is how we're overcoming our challenges.
