Whiskey Honoring Park Ji-sung to Be Launched

A whiskey named after Korean footballer Park Ji-sung of Manchester United will hit shelves next month, the Korean branch of French distiller Pernod Ricard announced.

Details of the limited-edition "Park Ji-sung Whiskey" are still being worked out, and various ideas are being considered, including putting Park's picture or autograph on the label, and having him participate in the blending process and share his opinions on the taste.

An official at Pernod Ricard Korea said, "We expect the whiskey to appeal to fans ahead of the World Cup in South Africa in June."
