'Byotte Chocoring Reduced Sugar' is based on the 'Chocoring,' Byotte's signature steady-seller, and contains 45% less sugar than the original product. Instead of sugar in the fermented base, ingredients like allulose have been used. The new product is available through both offline channels such as major supermarkets and hypermarkets, as well as online platforms.


Launched in March 2004, Byotte surpassed a cumulative sales volume of 940 million units as of July this year. Currently, there are four types available: Chocoring, Crunch Ball, Cookie & Cream, and Berry Compote.



In May, Byotte launched an exclusive 'Byotte Ice Cream' for the Japanese market based on an intellectual property (IP) licensing partnership with a local company. In July, Byotte began full-scale exports to Taiwan and Hong Kong. Seoul Milk plans to continuously expand its export channels into a wider array of countries based on these developments.
