LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Since the U.S. launch of BB cream in 2011, Korean beauty (K-Beauty) has revolutionized skincare routines across the globe, emerging as a powerhouse in the beauty industry. This surge is not merely a trend but a cultural phenomenon fueled by the rising global influence of Korean culture (K-Pop, K-Drama, and K-Kood).

Today, one of the pioneers of K-Beauty's first wave, Landing International Founder and CEO Sarah Chung Park, is releasing a new report called "The Second Wave of K-Beauty" to highlight the current dynamics of the K-Beauty, its impact on North American consumers and growth opportunities for retailers.
