JINRO just dropped a new melon soju — and it's not part of the regular lineup.
Meet JINRO Melon Limited Edition, a new flavored Korean soju rolling out across more than 20 countries, including the U.S., Japan, Vietnam, Australia, and the U.K.
It's a limited release, which means once it's gone, it may not come back.
Let's get to the part everyone actually cares about.
This one leans into a soft, sweet melon flavor — but keeps things balanced. You still get JINRO's signature clean finish, so it doesn't feel heavy or overly sugary. It's smooth, slightly aromatic, and easy to drink whether you're having it on its own or with food.
At 13% ABV, it sits right in line with the rest of JINRO's flavored soju range — light enough for casual drinking, but not watered down.
HiteJinro also noted that this special release was designed to achieve a near-perfect balance that appeals broadly to global tastes, so this melon edition is definitely one to watch.
Now for the part you'll probably notice first.
If you've seen JINRO's usual flavored soju lineup, you'll notice this one right away. Instead of the typical bright colors, JINRO Melon Limited Edition comes in a black label — a first for the brand's flavored soju range.
The design is simple, minimal, and a bit more elevated. It leans into a premium, limited-edition feel, making it stand out on the shelf without trying too hard.
If you're a longtime JINRO fan, this one might even feel worth keeping.
So where can you find it, and when does it drop?
JINRO Melon Limited Edition is rolling out across more than 20 countries, including the United States, Japan, Vietnam, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Availability will vary depending on location, so it may show up earlier in some markets than others.
If you're trying to get it early, your best bet is to keep an eye on local Asian grocery stores, liquor shops, and anywhere that already carries JINRO's existing flavors.

With melon added to the mix, here's what the current JINRO flavored soju lineup looks like:
Each flavor has built its own following globally, and the melon release adds a new option to the lineup — this time as a limited drop.
With globally loved favorites like Green Grape, Strawberry, and Peach already leading the lineup, it'll be interesting to see where melon lands among fan favorites.
