The brewer
New Look is a traditional liquor brand company whose name means taking a new look at nuruk, the base ingredient of traditional Korean liquor. It was founded around 2023 by three people born between 1991 and 1993 and is registered in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi. Using its own fermentation method, it removes sugar entirely (0g) and halves the calories of ordinary makgeolli. Its bottles hold 500ml at 4% ABV, a format closer to beer than to makgeolli. The goal, according to CEO Kim In-ji, is "popularizing traditional liquor."
