In a significant milestone for Korean traditional alcohol, Boksoondoga was chosen as the official toast for the 2012 Seoul Nuclear Security Summit and the subsequent Blue House presidential dinner in May 2013. This selection marked our establishment as Korea's representative traditional alcohol, bringing centuries-old brewing traditions to the modern diplomatic stage.

Our international recognition continued to grow when Boksoondoga was featured at the Milan World Expo in May 2015, where it served as the toast for the Korean Pavilion's opening ceremony. This prestigious platform allowed us to showcase the sophistication of Korean traditional brewing to a global audience.

As a proud 6th industry company, Boksoondoga represents the perfect fusion of agriculture, manufacturing, and service sectors. We create value by connecting traditional farming practices with modern production methods and cultural experiences, embodying the essence of Korea's rural innovation.

In 2016, we received the distinguished honor of being designated as an excellent cultural product by Korea. This recognition, symbolized by the K-ribbon mark shaped like traditional Hanbok, acknowledges products that exemplify Korean cultural values. The following year, our commitment to excellence was further validated when we received the GOOD DESIGN award from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

Our global expansion continues to flourish, particularly in the Japanese market, where we've established strong distribution networks through participation in various trade fairs. Since beginning our export journey to Japan, we've achieved consistent growth of over 30% annually, while steadily building brand recognition in international markets.
