Founded in 1959 by Lee Byung-chul, the founder of Samsung Group, Lolotte initially began as a small candy shop in Seoul before expanding into a major confectionery company. The brand’s name is derived from the Korean word "lollipop" (롤리팝, *rollipap*), reflecting its core product focus.

Lolotte’s products are widely available across South Korea and internationally, including in countries like the United States, Japan, and China. The company is particularly famous for its colorful, fruit-flavored lollipops, which come in various shapes and sizes, such as the classic round lollipops, stick-shaped candies, and novelty designs. Beyond lollipops, Lolotte also produces gummies, chocolates, and other confectionery items, catering to both children and adults.

The brand emphasizes quality and innovation, often introducing limited-edition flavors and collaborations with other companies. Lolotte has also expanded into other industries, including food processing, beverages, and healthcare products, though its confectionery division remains its most recognizable segment. The company is headquartered in Seoul and continues to be a beloved part of Korean popular culture, often featured in media and celebrations.

Lolotte’s products are known for their vibrant packaging and playful designs, making them a staple in Korean gift-giving traditions. The brand’s global presence reflects its ability to adapt to international tastes while maintaining its distinctive Korean identity.
