Gyeong (), the liquor brand led by singer Sung Si-kyung, won awards at the UK beverage competition "Great Taste Awards 2026" with its products "Gyeong Takju 12°" and "Gyeong Takju Rosé 12°". The two products were recognized in a blind tasting evaluation that excluded brand and packaging information, where taste, aroma, texture, and overall quality were assessed. Mo Du (수상) was among the honored entries.

The Great Taste Awards (Great Taste) is a beverage competition organized by the Guild of Fine Food, a UK-based professional institution for food and drink. Among them, "Gyeong Takju Rosé 12°" received the prestigious 2-Star "Outstanding" rating, awarded to only about 10% of all submitted entries. During the judging process, its color, creamy texture, fruity aroma, and balance between sweetness and acidity were highlighted as key evaluation criteria.

"Gyeong Takju 12°" is a traditional Korean rice wine (takju) brewed using 100% domestic rice through conventional brewing methods. It features the natural sweetness and acidity of rice, along with a smooth and rich texture. "Gyeong Takju Rosé 12°" is a floral pink-colored product made with domestic red rice, showcasing fruity notes. Sung Si-kyung personally participated in the planning and development of both products.

Gyeong () previously won awards at the international liquor competition "IWSC (International Wine & Spirit Competition) 2026". "Gyeong Takju 12°" earned a Silver Medal and a score of 93 points, while "Gyeong Takju Rosé 12°" received a Bronze Medal and 87 points, securing recognition at both international competitions.

Following its recognition at Tak Ju (수상), Gyeong () will officially launch its new product "Gyeong Soju 51°" on Tuesday, the 1st of next month. "Gyeong Soju 51°" is a distilled rice soju made from 100% domestic rice, double-distilled and uncooled and unfiltered.

"Gyeong Soju 51°" earned a Spirit Silver award and a score of 91 points at IWSC prior to its official launch, and also won a Silver Medal at the SFWSC 2026 in the United States. Gyeong () plans to accelerate its expansion into overseas markets such as Japan and the U.S., aiming to broaden its engagement with global consumers.
