Korean luxury platforms are focusing on overseas expansion due to domestic economic slowdown and intense online competition, making it difficult to grow solely within South Korea. Balan, a leading Korean luxury platform, is enhancing its global platform 'Balan.com' and received a 15 billion won investment from SiliconTwo, with sales target conditions attached. Similarly, Trenbe has launched its global platform, focusing on markets like North America. The luxury platforms are aiming to capture emerging markets like Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Despite a global economic slowdown forecast, these overseas efforts are seen as necessary for medium-term growth opportunities, particularly as emerging markets show increasing demand for luxury goods.
