Musinsa Secures 13 Billion KRW Investment

[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Musinsa announced on the 16th that it received an additional investment of 130 billion KRW from Sequoia Capital and IMM Investment.

Musinsa successfully secured follow-up investment 1 year and 3 months after November 2019. With this investment, Musinsa was recognized with a corporate valuation of approximately 2.5 trillion KRW.

This investment round is the result of Musinsa proving its rapid and continuous growth as the first domestic online fashion platform to surpass 1 trillion KRW in transaction volume. In particular, while the fashion industry overall experienced negative growth last year due to COVID-19, Musinsa steadily increased profitability through stable business operations. Its capabilities in launching new businesses such as limited edition markets, luxury goods, and women's fashion, as well as the potential for expansion through diversification of business models, were highly evaluated.

Going forward, Musinsa plans to invest the funds to strengthen competitiveness by expanding new categories, enhancing logistics systems, and supporting overseas expansion of tenant brands. It will also increase early-stage investments to nurture emerging brands.
