Dubai – September 28, 2023: “K BEAUTY ON DUBAI”, the first multi-brand Korean premium
cosmetics store in the UAE, has opened its doors on the first floor of Burjuman Mall. The store
promises to redefine beauty in the region with a curated selection of premium Korean
cosmetics, backed by the support of the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea
Health Industry Development Institute.
The opening ceremony was graced by esteemed guests, including Ryu Je Seung, Ambassador

Dubai, with its cosmopolitan atmosphere and expatriates consisting of over 80 per cent of the
local population, offers a vibrant market for premium cosmetics. In a city where shopping malls
are the hub of daily life, the strategic placement of “K BEAUTY ON” within Burjuman Mall makes
it easily accessible to a large demographic, including the thriving youth population, office-goers,
and residents connected by the city’s extensive metro network.
As the beauty industry continues to thrive in the dynamic city of Dubai, “K BEAUTY ON DUBAI”
promises to set new standards in premium cosmetics, offering a unique blend of quality
products and immersive cultural experiences.
Lee Young Ho, General Manager of Korea Health Industry Development Institute (KHIDI) UAE,
said, “The high interest in Korean Wave such as K-POP and K-Drama across the globe is also
extending to the Middle East and UAE markets, and the opening of the Korean cosmetics
promotion store at Burjuman mall in Dubai, UAE, will lead to the expansion of Korean cosmetics
exports to the UAE and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) markets.
“We are thrilled to launch ‘K-BEAUTY ON DUBAI,'” said CEO Ms. Jung Sook Chun. “I believe “K-
BEAUTY ON” is more than just a cosmetics store; it’s a cultural hub where we’ll organize various
events to promote Korean culture, fostering a deeper connection with the local community. Our
vision extends beyond beauty; it’s about sharing the essence of Korean culture with Dubai.”
