Dawn 808 and Dawn 1004 hangover drinks, 119 ml cans

Korea's Original Herbal Hangover Tea

[Dawn 808 & 1004] Hangover Drink (119ml)

  • First patented hangover drink
  • Herbal tea, not soda
  • 11 country patents
  • 15 cans a box

Big night ahead? Do what Korean office workers have done for decades: crack open a can of Dawn 808 (여명808) first. It was the first hangover drink ever patented, in Korea or anywhere in the world, and it once topped beverage sales across Korea's convenience stores two years in a row.

Inventor Nam Jong-hyun failed 807 times before his 808th recipe finally worked, and his face is still on every can. What he landed on isn't an energy drink or a vitamin shot. It's a herbal tea, brewed mainly from alder tree and rowan extracts, with hazelnut, honey, jujube, ginger, gourd, licorice and kudzu flower. Today it's patented in 11 countries, including the US, and in 2025 it passed Korea's official human application test for hangover drinks.

Want it stronger? Dawn 1004 (여명1004) is the premium big brother in the black can. Glami concentrates the 808 formula to twice the strength and brews it with hot-spring water drawn from 808 m beneath Cheorwon.

Drink one about 20 minutes before your first glass, or after your last. Keep a box in the fridge, because it tastes best cold (Glami pours the 1004 over ice), and wake up ready for the day instead of losing it to a hangover.

Curious how it compares? Try it side by side with Korea's other classic, Condition.

So what's inside?

Full Ingredients List Purified water, Dawn concentrate [liquid tea (China): hazelnut, alder tree, rowanberry, honey, jujube, ginger, gourd, licorice, kudzu flower], fructooligosaccharide. The 808 and 1004 share the same list.

To take One can about 20 minutes before drinking, or after drinking and before bed. Shake well first.

In the box 15 cans of one drink, 119 ml each: Dawn 808 (75 kcal a can) or Dawn 1004 (94 kcal a can). Made by Glami Co., Ltd. (그래미) in Cheorwon, South Korea.

To keep In a cool place, out of direct sunlight. It tastes better chilled. Don't drink from a dented, swollen or damaged can. The best-before date is printed on the top of the can (808) or the bottom (1004).

Good to know The label lists no allergens. Natural sediment from the herbs can settle in the can; it's safe, just shake before opening. This is a food product, not a medicine, and it isn't intended to prevent or treat any disease. Please drink within reasonable limits.

[Dawn 808 & 1004] Hangover Drink

여명808 · 여명1004

Dawn 808 hangover drink, 119 ml can

Korea's original herbal hangover tea

Dawn 808 (여명808) is the can Koreans reach for before a company dinner, a client night out or a long round of soju. It was the first hangover drink ever patented, in Korea or anywhere in the world, and it once topped beverage sales across Korea's convenience stores two years in a row.

It isn't a fizzy energy drink or a vitamin shot. It's a herbal tea, brewed mainly from alder tree and rowan (mountain ash) extracts, with hazelnut, honey, jujube, ginger, gourd, licorice and kudzu flower.

The name tells the story. Inventor Nam Jong-hyun failed 807 times, and the 808th recipe finally worked. His face is still on every can.

Patent and sales claims: Glami (그래미).

Dawn 1004 hangover drink, black 119 ml can

Available in a stronger formula

Dawn 1004 (여명1004) is Dawn 808's premium big brother, made for the nights that are hard to say no to. Glami concentrates the 808 formula to twice the strength and brews it with hot-spring water drawn from 808 m beneath Cheorwon.

Same herbal ingredient list, same 119 ml can, now in black. Each can has 94 kcal, and Glami suggests pouring it over ice, before or after a night out.

Its full name, 천사의 행복, means "an angel's happiness": 1004 is read cheon-sa in Korean, which sounds like the word for angel.

Dawn 808 hangover drink gift box with two cans

Patented in 11 countries

Dawn 808 holds patents in 11 countries, including the US, Japan, China and Canada. Glami, the company Nam founded in 1996, has won the grand prize or a gold medal at international invention fairs 16 times in a row, including three titles at the 1999 Invention & New Product Exposition in Pittsburgh. In 2008, Nam received Korea's Gold Tower Order of Industrial Service Merit, the country's top award for industry.

It's still going strong. In 2025 it passed the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's human application test for hangover drinks, and Korean consumers have voted it their most trusted hangover drink brand 17 years in a row.

Sources: Glami; The Korea Times (2008); Chosun Ilbo (2020); Hankyung (2026).

So how does it taste?

Earthy and herbal, like a Korean herbal medicine tea, with a little sweetness from honey and fructooligosaccharide. It isn't the tastiest drink on our shelves, but it's the one many Koreans swear by. A 119 ml can has 75 kcal (808) or 94 kcal (1004).

How to drink it

Drink one can about 20 minutes before you start drinking. You can also have one after your last drink or before bed.

Glami's tip for the 1004: pour it over ice, before or after a night out.

Natural sediment from the herbs can settle in the can. It's safe to drink: just give the can a good shake before opening.

Keep it in a cool place out of direct sunlight. It tastes better chilled, so we keep ours in the fridge.

This is a food product, not a medicine, and it isn't intended to prevent or treat any disease. Please drink within reasonable limits.

Product FAQ

Can’t find yours? Just ask us.

Ask a Question
Does it actually work?

It has saved us from a few big hangovers, and in 2025 it passed Korea's official human application test for hangover drinks. How well it works also depends on how much you drink, so don't use it as an excuse to overdo it.

What's the difference between 808 and 1004?

Both have the same ingredient list. Dawn 808 is the original blue can (75 kcal). Dawn 1004, 천사의 행복, is the premium black can: Glami concentrates the 808 formula to twice the strength and brews it with hot-spring water from 808 m beneath Cheorwon (94 kcal per can). New to Dawn? Start with the 808, or go straight for the premium 1004.

What makes Dawn different from other hangover drinks?

It's a herbal tea, brewed mainly from alder tree and rowan extracts, not an energy-style drink. It was the first hangover drink to be patented in Korea and worldwide, and today it's patented in 11 countries.

What does it taste like?

Earthy and herbal, like Korean herbal medicine, with a touch of sweetness. Certainly not the tastiest drink, but an effective one. It's nicer chilled, and Glami suggests the 1004 over ice.

When should I drink it?

About 20 minutes before you start drinking. You can also have a can after drinking or before going to bed.

How many cans are in a box?

Each box holds 15 cans (119 ml each) of one drink, 808 or 1004.

There's sediment in the can. Is this normal?

Yes. Natural sediment from the herbs can settle in the can. It's safe to drink: just shake well before opening.

Are there any side effects? Can I drink it if I'm pregnant or on medication?

It's a food product, not a medicine. If you notice anything unusual, stop drinking it and talk to a doctor. If you're pregnant or on medication, please check with your doctor first.

How do I store it?

At room temperature, in a cool place out of direct sunlight. It tastes better chilled, so we keep ours in the fridge. The best-before date is printed on the can: on the top for 808, on the bottom for 1004.

Who makes it?

Glami Co., Ltd. (주식회사 그래미), in Cheorwon, Gangwon Province, South Korea.

Where is this made - South Korea?

All products on Gochujar are proudly made in South Korea, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Both drinks are made in Cheorwon, South Korea, from an herbal tea concentrate whose herbs come from China.
