I am a big fan of soju and drink a lot of soju.
Soon Hari is the only brand that gives me a splitting headache after drinking it.
I thought the first time I drank a bottle was a fluke, but I drank it another bottle a second time yesterday and same result. Feels like an actual migraine.
Anyone else have issue with this brand in specific or maybe I’m allergic to something they use?

Hungover
The alcohol + sugar mix will give you a bad hangover lol. I recommend drinking a lot of water. I get dehydrated easily when I drink alcohol.

2 explanations exist that make sense to me. The first is the added sugar. The second is that soju that drinks like juice changes your drinking habits.
Drink water and eat heavy food with it 😭
it’s most likely the sugar – I assume you’re probably drinking flavored soju more often than not? if so, try drinking straight soju instead. a quick google search shows that straight soon hari has 3 to 5 grams of sugar, while flavored soon hari has 32 to 38 grams of sugar
if you’re still getting headaches after trying straight soon hari, then yeah it’s probably something about the brand itself
Youre drinking the shittiest starch ingredients with lots of added sweetener in a mass produced chemical liquid and wonder why your in pain? LMAO
Yeah, anything flavored is gonna give you a headache the next day. If you like the taste, maybe chase it with juice?
I have similar problems with some of the cheaper soju variants. I prefer the stuff without sugar.
i have always heard that flavored soju causes worse headaches / hangovers!
The real question is why it seems impossible to find the original citrus flavour. I live in the UK and there are a lot of asian supermarkets in my area that sells flavours i didn’t even know existed, but they never have the original 순하리
I don’t get hangovers, but everytime I drink Soju my head starts pounding that same night after I’m done drinking.
I was told by a craft soju maker here in LA that all of the major soju brands just add water and sugar to ethanol. So it’s cheap and it messes you up. I imagine craft soju does the same too.
Amongst flavored soju brands, Soon Hari does that to me as well. It tastes more artificial and sweet compared to the others so I expect it’s the sugar. Hangs you over before the hangover. Could be something in the artificial flavoring they specifically use as well though, because I find that like, the flavored seltzer alcohols like Truly also do that to me. Even if I really feel like having a little flavored soju, I won’t ever order Soon Hari. Good way to turn a good night into a bad one in about two hours.
Flavored soju has tons of sugar. That’s whats causing it.
Worst hangover I’ve had with that shitty drink, haven’t touched it ever since. I’ve had my share of alcohol, but soonhari just isn’t for me
I mix Chum Churum pure (no added flavour) with Soju Grape. It takes off the sweetness and for me it’s perfect!
I get hungover while I drink drink soju. I think it has to do with my metabolism but it’s bad. The only workaround is drink enough quickly to get druuuunk or eat while I drink.
