  • Main campaign film premieres, highlighting V's approachable charm and JINRO's brand values
  • Campaign celebrates the joy of sharing everyday moments with JINRO
  • SEOUL, South Korea, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- JINRO, the world's No. 1 soju brand, unveiled its first global campaign, My Favorite JINRO, featuring global ambassador V of BTS. Having named V of Pop Royalty BTS as its global ambassador, JINRO created the campaign to communicate its brand values in a more approachable way and share the joy of everyday moments with consumers around the world.

    Beginning with the premiere of the main campaign film, My Favorite JINRO will roll out a diverse range of marketing initiatives, including digital content, consumer engagement events, and offline promotions, to connect with consumers worldwide.

    The main campaign film showcases V's commanding charisma and playful charm through refined cinematography. After being invited to a party, V mistakenly arrives at the wrong venue, resulting in an unexpected twist where guests from both parties come together with V to enjoy JINRO. Through this story, the film conveys JINRO's youthful and trend-forward brand image while reinforcing its brand message of bringing people together and creating special moments.

    The campaign film also incorporates symbolic elements representing JINRO's global expansion strategy. Room 306 refers to the three regular soju products and six flavored soju varieties currently available in global markets, while Room 307 symbolizes JINRO's plan to expand its flavored soju lineup to seven or more varieties. By continuing to introduce products that reflect the diverse preferences of consumers around the world, JINRO aims to further strengthen its brand competitiveness.

    The campaign film will be available on JINRO's official global YouTube channel, as well as its official Instagram and Facebook channels.

    Jung-ho Hwang, Head of Overseas Business at HiteJinro, said, "My Favorite JINRO marks JINRO's first global campaign with global ambassador V of BTS, introducing the brand to consumers around the world in a more approachable and engaging way. Moving forward, we will continue expanding our presence in the mainstream global beverage alcohol market while broadening consumer touchpoints worldwide to further strengthen JINRO's competitiveness as Korea's representative soju brand."

    Alongside the campaign film, JINRO unveiled "Fill The Moment" as its new global tagline, which encapsulates the brand philosophy of bringing presence, warmth, and human energy into everyday experiences while naturally accompanying meaningful moments of connection and togetherness.

JINRO Unveils First Global Campaign "My Favorite JINRO" with V of BTS

JINRO Unveils First Global Campaign "My Favorite JINRO" with V of BTS

  • Formula E will stage its first night races in Japan as Tokyo hosts the Season 12 (2025/26) double-header on 25–26 July
  • The shift from afternoon running to evening racing introduces a new technical challenge, with teams preparing in one set of conditions and racing in another
  • As the exclusive tyre supplier, Hankook returns to Tokyo for a third consecutive year, supporting an event powered entirely by sustainable energy

TOKYO, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Formula E will stage its first night races in Japan at the 2026 TDK Tokyo E-Prix, with both races scheduled to begin at 20:00 local time on 25 and 26 July. Hankook Tire & Technology Co., Ltd. (hereafter Hankook), the exclusive tyre supplier to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, will equip all teams for Rounds 14 and 15 of Season 12 (2025/26).

Tokyo joined the Formula E calendar in 2024, when it hosted the first FIA World Championship race held in the city, before returning as a double-header in 2025. The Tokyo E-Prix's 2.575-kilometer temporary circuit runs through the Ariake waterfront district around Tokyo Big Sight and features 18 corners and three straights, technical low-speed sections, and high-speed corner combinations that place varied demands on tyre performance throughout the lap. The entire event, including the circuit floodlighting, will be powered by sustainable energy from advanced biofuels, reflecting Formula E's partnership with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to promote zero-emission mobility.

This year's evening schedule will require teams to work across two different sets of conditions. Practice and qualifying will take place during the warmer afternoon, while the races will begin after sunset on a cooler track. The challenge will therefore be not only to gather useful data during the day, but also to anticipate how tyre behavior, grip levels and track temperatures will evolve as conditions cool toward race time.

Tokyo's late-July heat and humidity are expected to remain a factor after dark. For the Hankook iON Race, this places emphasis on predictable warm-up, stable grip, and consistent performance as the circuit cools over the course of each race.

Hankook will also operate its booth in the Formula E Fan Village throughout the weekend, where visitors can explore the company's iON tyre technology and EV tyre lineup.
