History
In 1980s, while the private sale of bottled water was prohibited, Korean Air produced (and still continues to produce) Jeju water for in-aircraft. As the sale of bottled water to the Koreans became possible in the 1990s, Jeju Province entered the mineral water market, motivated from the success of Korean Air. A development corporation was made and started to produce Jeju-water, and in 1998 Jeju Samdasoo was released.
All of the Jeju-branded mineral water has been made by Jeju province development co. (except for Hanjin Jeju Pure Water) since today.

Why this record matters
“Jeju Samdasoo” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Jeju, Samdasoo and Korean provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12616416. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1998 and 1000.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
