The Korea Times reports that the drinks, created by Kwangdong Pharmaceutical, have 120 kilocalories each, and the company says this is 30 per cent lower than other carbonated drinks available in South Korea. HP and MP are positioning themselves as healthier alternatives.

HP not only contains grape and aronia juice, but also 100mg of the amino acid taurine, which supposedly helps with things like neurological development and regulating mineral levels in blood. MP is a fizzy apple juice drink with 100mg of theanine, which is found in teas and which could help with relaxation.
