Our Story
We made AWKN for us and for you
This is Our Journey
As two sisters from Korea now living in Europe, we wanted to create something that was close to our culture and heritage that would help more people in a sincere way. We created AWKN, deeply rooted in Korean traditions, seamlessly fuses ancient remedies with cutting-edge science. Grounded in science, we meticulously curated a formula that transforms hangover prevention into a simple and effective experience.
“While pursuing a career in tech and start-up scenes I often had to balance professional and social life, inspiring my desire to share these Korea's hangover secrets to many more.
”
“I avoided social gatherings that involved drinking due to this physical incompatibility with alcohol called "Asian Flush". Now with AWKN, I occasionally enjoy a few drinks without the fear of embarrassment or hangxiety.
