Binotek’s high-performance skincare brand REPOVE has been chosen as an official cosmetics sponsor for the APEC summit to be held in Gyeongju in October 2025. Six core REPOVE items—including AB Solution (dual whitening and anti-wrinkle), REP cream, an all-in-one whole-body wash essence, sun protector, REP whole-body stick, and REP face stick—will be supplied for the event. REPOVE features 16 technology-driven ingredients backed by three U.S. patents and 14 domestic patents; it has sold over 10 million units and is sold at 150 CLOUNGE (clothing-lounge retail concept) offline stores while expanding into Southeast Asia and other global markets. Binotek, the first tenant in the Gyeongsan cosmetics cluster, is building GMP factories for cosmetics and health functional foods and plans to complete facilities in early 2026 to domesticize liposome ingredients and handle end-to-end production. CEO Kim Yumi said the APEC sponsorship will raise global awareness of K-beauty’s product and technological strengths, boost exports and employment, and energize the beauty and healthcare economy. She added it is an honor for a Daegu–Gyeongbuk beauty firm to contribute to this international event in Gyeongju.
