SK magic entered three of their main products (the ‘Self-managing’ JIKSOO water purifier, JIKSOO RICH ice water purifier and JIKSOO HYPER water purifier) to the 2021 sensory resulting the purified water from the ‘Self-managing’ JIKSOO water purifier’ receiving the highest grade of 3 stars for its exceptional taste, scent and texture by jury of the world’s best Chefs & Sommeliers.

In order to provide fresh and tasty water, SK magic developed the very first JIKSOO tankless water purifier in Korea that provides users with instantly filtered water only when needed, replacing the outdated ‘tank type’ water purifier that stores filtered water inside of a water tank. Their technological advancement has enabled them to receive numerous recognitions on both the Korean domestic & international stage. The JIKSOO RICH ice water purifier provides instant hot, cold water and ice function with its ALL JIKSOO system while the easy maintenance ‘Self-managing’ JIKSOO water purifier’ with its self-sterilisation function was also previously awarded with the “CES Innovation Award” in the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world’s most influential technology event. SK magic operates an Environmental Analysis Center, which is a water quality specialised laboratory researching the taste of purified water and it was appointed as an ‘Authorized Institution for Drinking Water Quality Testing’ by the Ministry of Environment in 2019 in Korea.
