Yeah I agree with the older breeds bigger hangovers - late 20's now and taking a pounding more and more with each coming year.

Still if you want the real hangover cure, get yourself hae-jang-guk, it's the bizness.

Myself I like the son-jae (cow liver/blood soup) but the knog-na-mul works too (beansprout soup). It's how I was taught, the Korean way^^*

Also a bu-dae-jigae works well for me - a double sized bowl with all available extras and a beer = NO HANGOVER.

I find any type of soup works well. We used eat tomato soup and cheese on toast in my uni days.

It's not surprising really. Soup would work to give you back some vitamins, settle your stomach and hydrate you.

Boiled eggs and tomato juice make a good breakfast hangover cure. I highly doubt a soju can prevent or cure a hangover. Embalming fluid and methanol are just too wickedly intoxicating. My uncle Davie in the Navy says soju is famous for having more than conventional ethanol.

Hangovers exist for a reason. They remind you that pounding beer and whiskey chasers all night is not actually very good for you, and will slowly kill you over time. It serves as a slap on the wrist, telling you to behave in future.
This new 'cure' will just lead to people drinking much more. As innovative as it seems, it's just another example of Korea kicking itself in the nuts again.

Haha! Sorry to play the killjoy, but I can't help thinking this is the wrong approach towards drinking. Surely, teaching people about the dangers of over-indulgence is better than a quick-fix that completely avoids the issue?
Another strike against common sense for Korea.
Mind you, I'm from the UK so who I am to talk? I'll probably end up trying it out sooner or later!

I'm surprised more people haven't come on saying they have tried it. I drank some in Daejeon 2 weeks ago.

At the time, my GF and I had no idea it was special in any way. We both agreed it was quite good at the time, though. We drank about two and a half between between us. She got shit-hammered but it occurred to me later that, for me, the buzz wore off quite quickly.

We definitely didn't have hang overs the next day, but I don't think that amount is enough to produce a bad hangover, anyway. I can drink 2 bottles of Jinro and have a mild hang over, but chuck a beer in the mix and I'm toast. We had some assorted beverages later. So, I'm going to say that it works as advertised.
