Hakka Korea Expands Market Influence with New Store Opening
Hakka Korea, a leading e-cigarette brand in South Korea, opens its 49th store in Jeju Island's old Heng City.

According to a report by fntoday, Hakka Korea, a leading e-cigarette brand in South Korea, recently announced the opening of its 49th flagship store in the city of Jeju, Old Heng. This marks the first time that Hakka Korea has opened a direct store in the Jeju region, following prior store openings in Seoul, Incheon, Busan, and Gyeongnam.

 

Hakka Korea is renowned for its CSV liquid e-cigarette device "Hakka Signature," which distinguishes itself by using ceramic coils and pharmaceutical-grade natural nicotine liquid. The brand not only offers liquid e-cigarettes but also boasts a range of heated tobacco products, making it a prominent figure in the e-cigarette industry in Korea.
