BTS Jin and Paik Jong-won’s soju brand war heads to court in 2025
A legal dispute over the liquor brand Jini’s Lamp is set to continue between BTS member Jin and Theborn Korea CEO Paik Jong-won. The case, which centres on trademark rights, will likely go to court in 2025. Both sides remain locked in a battle over the brand’s ownership and use.
The conflict began when Jin, a member of the global K-pop group BTS, launched his own soju brand under the name Jini’s Lamp. Theborn Korea, led by CEO Paik Jong-won, already held a trademark for a similar name, leading to legal tensions.
The trademark battle between Jin and Theborn Korea remains unresolved. With court dates looming in 2025, both parties will need to prepare for a lengthy legal process. Paik’s decision to fund a consultative group could influence how the dispute unfolds in the coming months.
