Why You'll Love This Korean Shot Glass Set

• Color-changing design: The character’s cheeks turn red when you pour in a cold drink (below ~50°F / 10°C). It literally “blushes.”
• Korean traditional art reimagined: Inspired by 18th-century painter Kim Hongdo, known for playful scenes of everyday Korean life.
• 4 unique glasses: Each glass has its own story and personality, so everyone at the table can choose their favorite.
• Perfect Korean gift: A fun, meaningful Korean housewarming gift, birthday gift, or bar cart display piece.
• Great for soju, whiskey, sake, tequila shots, or dessert servings.

Meet the Scholars (4-Glass Soju Set)

Each temperature reactive shot glass in this set features a different scholar character. Together, they capture the humor, friendship, and warmth of Korean drinking culture:

• Tipsy Scholar: “Empty the glass, clear your mind.” Calm, relaxed, slightly red-faced.
• Friendly Scholars: Two friends walking arm-in-arm. “Drinking together is true friendship.”
• Joyful Scholar: Hands up, celebrating. “Cheers to happiness!”
• Sleepy Scholar: Cozy and done for the night. “Body here, spirit in the clouds.”

How the Color-Changing Soju Glass Works

• The blush effect appears with cold liquid under about 50°F (10°C).

• The colder the drink, the brighter the cheeks. Try chilled soju, cold sake, or any ice-cold spirit.

• On very cold days, the glass may already look “blushed” before pouring — this is normal.
