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 fusing ancient remedies with cutting-edge science. Grounded in science, we meticulously curated a formula that transforms social wellness routines.

During my career in tech and start-ups, I constantly navigated the challenge of balancing high-performance workdays with vibrant social nights.

That experience sparked my passion to share Korea’s time-honoured wellness rituals — especially those traditionally used before and after moments of celebration — with a wider audience.

For years, I found myself holding back at social gatherings with alcohol, due to a common sensitivity experienced by many people of East Asian descent — often referred to as "Asian Flush." The visible effects made me feel uncomfortable and self-conscious.

With AWKN, I’ve found a personal ritual that lets me immerse myself in life’s celebrations with newfound confidence and joy.
