BTS's Jin Rumored to Launch Liquor Business with Restaurateur Baek Jong-won

Reports have surfaced that Jin from the globally renowned group BTS is teaming up with restaurateur Baek Jong-won to venture into the liquor business. However, Big Hit Music, Jin's agency, stated on the 11th, "We ask for your understanding that it is difficult to confirm this information."

Earlier that day, a media outlet reported that Jin and Baek Jong-won are investing in shares to launch a distilled liquor through an agricultural corporation. According to the report, the corporation, Yesan Doga, is set to release a distilled spirit named 'Aigin' this month. 'Aigin' is expected to be available not only as a distilled liquor but also as a ready-to-drink beverage utilizing local agricultural products from Yesan, Chungnam, such as apples, watermelons, and plums, which is Baek Jong-won's hometown.

Jin and Baek Jong-won have maintained a close friendship over the years, openly acknowledging their connection.

Meanwhile, Jin released 'Happy' on the 15th of last month, which quickly climbed to the top of Japan's Oricon 'Weekly Digital Album Ranking' (for the period of November 11-17) within just three days of its release, receiving a positive response in the Japanese market.
