Why this session?
Korean beauty moves fast and the gap between what you see online and what is practical on the ground in Korea can be bigger than most people realise. This session exists for the moment when you have strong momentum but too many unknowns, and you need clarity before you spend money, sign a contract, travel to Korea, or commit to a business direction.
People often contact STYLE STORY with questions about Korean suppliers and shipping, training programs and courses in Korea, whether a K-Beauty business idea is commercially sensible, export and import pathways, and regulatory requirements for different markets. In one hour, we help you get clear on what matters, what is realistic and what the smartest next step should be.

Media, journalists, researchers and analysts
This is for professionals who need a credible expert source for articles, research, background briefs, interviews, podcast episodes and in-depth market analysis.

What we can cover:
Every session is tailored to your cover exactly the information you need. If you are unsure what to ask, that is completely fine. We will quickly identify what matters most to you and focus on the areas that will make the biggest difference to your next decision.
K-Beauty market trends and business direction
We can unpack current Korean beauty trends and explain what they mean commercially, then connect that insight to your target market and business model. This is especially helpful if you are deciding whether to start a K-Beauty business, what kind of business to scale, refining your positioning, or pressure testing a plan before you invest.
Sourcing Korean skincare, suppliers, and shipping
If you are trying to source authentic Korean skincare or makeup, we can discuss different suppliers, how to evaluate legitimacy and offers, and what shipping and logistics realities look like in practice. This is ideal if you are stuck on supplier selection in Korea, shipping options, or looking for up-to-the-minute information on how to avoid mistakes when buying, moving or distributing product.
Export, import, and regulatory guidance
We can clarify export readiness from Korea and unpack import pathways into various countries. If you have questions about regulatory compliance, product registration, documentation and market requirements, this session helps you understand what is required and what can be sequenced later.
Distribution, contracts and commercial decision-making
If you are negotiating distribution agreements or reviewing commercial terms, our team can help you identify red flags, clarify typical expectations, and prepare for stronger conversations. We can also support translation between Korean and English when clarity matters for contracts, supplier discussions or formal documentation.
K-Beauty expos, Korea travel and training programs
If you are planning a Korea trip for business, deciding whether to attend a K-Beauty expo, or exploring training courses and programs in Korea, we can help you identify the best fit and set realistic expectations to maximize the value of your time. This is particularly useful if you want to avoid expensive travel that does not translate into measurable business outcomes.
