Filipino ARMYs, get ready — BTS member Jin's apple gin brand IGIN is about to hit supermarket shelves across the Philippines in the coming weeks. The announcement, reported by ABS-CBN, means you won't need to rely on K-pop import shops or online resellers anymore to get your hands on it.

IGIN is an apple-flavored gin that Jin launched as part of his growing portfolio of business ventures since completing his mandatory military service in 2024. The brand has already made waves in South Korea and other Asian markets, and now the Philippines — home to one of the world's largest and most passionate BTS fanbases — is next in line.

The move to distribute IGIN in mainstream Philippine supermarkets signals just how seriously Jin is taking the Southeast Asian market. The Philippines has always been a stronghold for BTS, with Filipino ARMYs consistently ranking among the top in terms of streaming numbers, concert attendance, and merchandise purchases.

Jin's post-military career has been nothing short of impressive. Beyond music, he's secured partnerships with luxury brands like Gucci, Fred jewelry, and Laneige, while also venturing into food and beverage. IGIN fits right into this diversified portfolio — it's accessible, trendy, and carries the Jin brand name that practically sells itself.

No exact date has been announced for when IGIN will appear on shelves, pero the report says it'll be within the 'coming weeks.' Expect supermarket aisles to look very different once ARMYs start their pilgrimage. The real question is: how fast will stocks run out?
