Where it stands now

Expansion + IPO preparation

Consolidated revenue for 2025 was reported at about KRW 1.4679 trillion (+18%), with operating profit of KRW 140.5 billion (+37%). Revenue in the first half of 2026 rose 22.5%, while operating profit fell 11% on store and overseas investment.

KOSPI listing: it applied for preliminary review in September 2026 and is targeting a listing in the first half of 2027.
Offline expansion: the goal is to grow Musinsa Standard stores to 50 in Korea and 60 in Korea and abroad by the end of 2026; in China it expects more than 100 within five years.
Overseas: more than 2,100 brands are now on Japan's ZOZOTOWN, and a permanent Tokyo store is planned for 2027. There is also a joint venture in China.

Three people it will look for

Store operations and store-manager level — a program already places staff as store managers after six months of training
Listed-company finance, IR and internal control — the company moved to accountability under nine C-level officers from 2026
Global business (Japan and China) leaders and tech talent

For HR

A company about to list looks for finance, legal and IR experience all at once. Move before more companies are chasing the same people.
