This event goes beyond a simple brand exhibition; it is South Korea’s next-generation beauty platform where cosmetic ingredients and R&D capabilities converge.

This exhibition encompasses the entire beauty value chain, from manufacturing to research, investment, and distribution. The event features a diverse range of exhibits, including skincare, makeup, hair, nails, body care, fragrances, derma, aesthetics, raw materials, ingredients, OEM/ODM, packaging, and inner beauty.

A wide range of programs designed to generate tangible business opportunities and facilitate global expansion have also been prepared. Admission is free with pre-registration. “BeautySome Suwon” will offer companies a springboard for successful brand launches and global partnerships, while providing the public with a sensory experience showcasing the essence of K-Beauty. It is sure to be a meaningful event that opens a new chapter in business.

Why go

BeautySum Suwon is a three-day K-Beauty trade event covering the full industry value chain, not just a single brand showcase. Exhibits include skincare, makeup, hair, nails, body care, fragrance, derma, aesthetics, raw materials, and OEM/ODM, plus special sections for AI beauty tech and startups, making it of interest to industry professionals and K-Beauty enthusiasts alike.
