NMAC's factory shipping price has been raised by 6.9%, and wholesalers have also started delivering products at wholesale shipping prices that reflect this increase.

Prices are expected to rise from 690 yen) to 6,000 to 7,000 won (approximately 805 yen). On the other hand, the Korea Liquor Wholesalers Association believes that the government's alcohol-related laws and regulations are being properly implemented.
