Nongshim Baeksan Water has received the Grand Prix in the mineral water category at the world-renowned Belgian 'Monde Selection' for the fourth consecutive year.

Monde Selection is an evaluation body composed of a panel of over 80 expert judges, including chefs, sommeliers, and scientists. It verifies consumer goods quality through strict criteria and awards four levels of honors, from Grand Prix to Silver Medal.

This year, Baeksan Water was honored with the Grand Prix for the fourth consecutive year. Baeksan Water received high scores for its pristine Suwon source and systematic quality management.

A Nongshim official, speaking to this newspaper by phone, said, "Winning the Monde Selection Grand Prix for four consecutive years can be seen as recognition of Baeksan Water's quality, created alongside the great nature of Baekdu Mountain, on the global stage."

The Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources' Yoon Yoon-yeol team explained the characteristics of Baeksan Water, stating, "Baeksan Water is naturally purified water that has flowed for about 40 years through a volcanic rock layer stretching 45 kilometers from Baekdu Mountain's Heaven Lake to the Suwon source. In addition, Nongshim has applied unmanned smart factory technology to control the entire production process, from water intake to packaging and logistics, thereby blocking the possibility of contamination at the source."

An industry official, speaking to this newspaper by phone, evaluated that "Baeksan Water's greatest strength is its image as the clear water of Baekdu Mountain, the nation's sacred mountain. Moreover, Nongshim, which successfully launched Jeju Samdasoo, leveraged its know-how to launch its own brand, Baeksan Water, and has successfully established a foothold in the market."
