Some drinkware exists to hold your drink. Some drinkware exists to become the entire main character of the night.
JINRO's new limited-edition Melon soju glass definitely belongs in the second category.
To celebrate the launch of JINRO Melon, the brand has released a special color-changing soju glass featuring the iconic JINRO toad and a hidden visual effect that activates when cold soju is poured in. And honestly? It feels specifically designed for the generation that films everything before taking the first sip.
Exactly.
The shape of the glass itself does not change. But the artwork on the glass hides a small surprise inspired by the fresh green vibe of the new JINRO Melon series.
And yes, the JINRO toad is there looking adorable as usual.
Pour cold soju into the glass, and suddenly a hidden melon appears above the JINRO toad's hand like a tiny magic trick happening right in your drink. It's one of those tiny details that instantly activates everyone's "wait hold on, let me record this" instinct.
The whole thing has all the playful details Gen Z loves: cute visuals, interactive moments, collectible merch, and a drink setup that feels ready for Instagram Story.
JINRO Melon is a new limited-edition flavor line launched this spring. It has already rolled out across more than 20 countries including the U.S., Japan, Vietnam, Australia, and the U.K.
Like the flavor itself, the vibe is light, sweet, playful, and dangerously easy to enjoy.
At around 13% ABV, it is smooth enough for casual drinking while still feeling like an actual soju experience. And according to fans? The flavor is refreshingly sweet, with a clean melon note that feels light, crisp, and easy to enjoy.
If you have not tried it yet, honestly, this might be your sign to call the nearest soju shop and ask if they have JINRO Melon in stock.
It pairs ridiculously well with spicy food and works perfectly as a chilled, easy-to-enjoy drink for casual sipping.
Also, quick tip: unlike most JINRO fruit sojus, JINRO Melon features a black label with "Melon" written directly on it — so if you spot a green JINRO bottle on the shelf, take a closer look.
The limited-edition JINRO Melon color-changing soju glass will be available through selected stores and promotional events.
However, giveaway promotions and availability may vary depending on the country and retailer. For the most accurate details in your region, please contact customer support through the official JINRO website or reach out directly through the official social channels below:
