Korea today leads the world in autos and electronics, but newly emerging manufacturers and protectionism threaten the country's position as a leading exporter. In search of innovative industries that will allow Korea to punch above its weight in the global market, cosmetics are seen as a possible contender. Enter Sokoglam: an online market place curating K-beauty products in the United States. Their founders, Charlotte and Dave Cho, sit down with Korean Kontext to discuss how they built the business and where they hope to take the industry in the future.
This is the second of three episodes with honorees from KEI's Korean-American Day celebration. If you haven't yet, we highly recommend the first episode with Susan Kang, the founder of Soompi.
