The company began with the introduction of Chilsung Cider, a lemon-lime soft drink. Lotte Chilsung became one of the largest beverage producers in the young South Korean domestic market. In 1966, Lotte Chilsung began exporting its Chilsung Cider to Vietnam. In the mid seventies the company began to achieve an international presence, entering into contracts with American companies such as Pepsi. In 1989, Lotte Chilsung acquired a JAS mark. In the late 90s Lotte Chilsung grew to be Asia's largest beverage company, holding 35% of the domestic market share.
The "Chilsung" name (chilseong, 칠성) means "Big Dipper" (literally, "seven stars"). Chilsung's logo is an eponymous seven stars in a row. (Compare with unrelated brands Samsung [three stars] and Goldstar [now LG or Lucky-Goldstar])
