Our founder, Luis Manta, first created Seoul Juice in his dorm room at Saint Louis University while playing for the varsity soccer team. He developed the idea his sophomore year after having a negative reaction to the artificial colors found in some of the most popular sports drinks. Luis tried to turn to natural alternatives, but he found them all unpalatable. After countless hours of research, Luis came across the amazing benefits and delicious taste of the Korean Pear, and Seoul Juice was born.
