Before the first fruit soju was released, standard [[soju]] was quite popular in [[Korea]] as an alcoholic drink for adults. However, some people found soju difficult to drink due to its high alcohol content and strong flavor. Its popularity declined because of Korean societal changes regarding work. This resulted in people not having enough time to drink.<ref>{{Cite news |url= http://news.newsway.co.kr/view.php?tp=1&ud=2015021618520109234&md=20150217142714_AO |title= 롯데주류, 14도로 확 낮추고 ‘유자’ 첨가된 소주 3월초 출시 |last=Lee |first=Joohyun |date= 2015-02-16 |work= |publisher= newsway |publication-date= 2015-02-16 |trans-title= Lotte Chilsung will release lower degree 14 and citron flavor soju |access-date=|via=}}</ref> |

In 2015, the first fruit soju 'Sunhari' was released. It had a [[citron]] flavoring and lower alcohol content. This was popular with young people, due to its sweeter taste and lower alcoholic content compared to standard soju.<ref>{{Cite news |url= http://www.yonhapnews.co.kr/bulletin/2015/05/14/0200000000AKR20150514186400030.HTML|title='순하리'가 바꾼 소주 문화…되살아난 과일소주 열풍 |last=Ko |first=Yusun |date= 2015-05-15 |work= |publisher= Yonhapnews |publication-date= 2015-05-15 |trans-title= Sunhari changed Korean soju culture.

After Sunhari had become popular in the soju market, other companies released their own fruit soju. Joenday released three kinds of the beverage, while Chamisle released Jamongisle, a [[grapefruit]] flavored soju, which became as popular as Sunhari. Sunhari still had the strong taste of original [[soju]], whereas Jamongisle had a sweeter and milder taste.<ref>{{Cite news |url= http://www.hankookilbo.com/v/d5739f82ed3f4e9ab7594e681739c7f6 |title= 순하리 출시 1년… 과일소주로 주류시장 흔들다 |last=Kwon |first=Eunyung |date=2016-03-24 |work= |publisher= Hankookilbo |publication-date=2016-03-24 |trans-title= Since Sunhari is released 1 year, Fruit soju makes the new soju trend |access-date=|via=}}</ref> |

The popularity of fruit soju continued for a year after the release of Sunhari. In March 2016, however, the sales decreased. The hype that surrounded fruit soju in 2015 disappeared, and today fruit soju is not consumed much anymore. Consequently, this type of soju is no longer widely sold due to the decline in popularity.<ref>{{Cite news |url= http://www.ebn.co.kr/news/view/820227 |title='과일'에서 '탄산'까지...소주 DNA가 바뀐다 |last=Lee |first= Gwangpyo |date=2016-03-09 |work= |publisher= EBN |publication-date= 2016-03-09 |trans-title= soju`s DNA has become changed |access-date= |via=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url= http://news1.kr/articles/?2642402|title="겨우 1년만에"…인기 '반짝' 일부 과일소주, 사라진다 |last= Jang |first=Domin |date= 2016-04-25 |work= |publisher=New1 |publication-date= 2016-04-25 |trans-title= The rate of fruit soju in alcohol market is decreased |access-date= |via=}}</ref> Currently, sparkling [[soju]] is preferred over all other types of this beverage.<ref>{{Cite news |url= http://www.newsprime.co.kr/news/article.html?no=340061 |title= 과일소주 이어 탄산주 마케팅 '격돌' |last=Ha |first= Yungin |date= 2016-06-14 |publisher= newsprime.co.kr |publication-date= 2016-06-14 |trans-title= New soju trend: sparkling soju |access-date=|via=}}</ref> |

Fruit soju (Template:Lang-ko) is a flavored soju. In 2015, Lotte Chilsung released the first fruit-flavored soju brand, "Sunhari", which was soon followed by many similar brands.
The phrase 'fruit soju' is a combination of Korean words gwail (fruit) and soju (a type of Korean alcohol).
I thinkk this fruit is a purple tasty meme. It can be found in yee soul.
Characteristics
Fruit soju has a distinct fruit flavor and lower alcohol content (degree) compared to standard soju. The beverage comes in many flavors, such as blueberry, grapefruit, lemon and apple.
Special limited editions of fruit soju have been made, such as C1 Lime soju from the alcohol company "Daesun Jujo (대선주조)". 9,000 bottles were released.[1]
Fruit soju contains large amounts of sugar, with each bottle containing 32.4 grams (1.14 oz). The calorie content of each bottle of fruit soju totals 400 kcal. This is more than one bowl of rice. It contains 5 g (0.18 oz) more sugar than Coke. This has contributed to obesity and an increase of visceral fat.[2]
The most popular fruit soju for university students is "Dew on Grapefruit (자몽에 이슬)". Praise for "Dew on Grapefruit" includes "the other fruit soju is too sweet" and the "combination of grapefruit and soju is good". The second-most popular fruit soju in this demographic is "Bokbadeun Brother (복받은 부라더)".[3]
