26 Alcoholics in Korea File Lawsuit against Soju Makers

According to The Korea Observer this morning, 26 alcoholics in Korea have filed a lawsuit against two leading soju companies for “failure to warn about the dangers of drinking alcohol,” requesting 2.1 billion won in compensation (£1,250,793). 

Korean alcohol companies invest hugely in massive advertising campaigns, working with K Pop and K Drama stars to promote their drinks – and Korea is known to be one of the biggest drinking nations in the world. 

However, the plaintiffs complain that little is done to warn against the dangers of alcohol, and blame the lack of warning labels on the soju bottles as their reason for becoming alcoholics.

One plaintiff is quoted as saying: “Liquor companies carry out massive advertisement campaigns, but their warning labels on liquor bottles are too small to read.”

Do you think they’re right to file a law suit? Comment below!
