[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Next Eye, a Korea-China cosmetics specialist company, has been selected as the exclusive domestic supplier for SOMIGO, one of the top eight duty-free license holders in China. SOMIGO is a Chinese shopping platform jointly established by the large Chinese department store company Wangfujing (王府井) Group and the major hotel chain BTG Homeinns Hotels Group.

On the 20th, Next Eye announced that it had signed an exclusive supply contract with SOMIGO (SOMI Information Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.), a Chinese duty-free cross-border e-commerce company, and completed the initial shipment.

Next Eye, after entering the cosmetics business with its largest shareholder, China’s largest beauty franchise YUMIDO Group, has been striving to secure global distribution channels centered on China. This partnership with SOMIGO was carried out as an exclusive strategic alliance from the early planning stage to expand and stabilize the product supply chain.

A Next Eye official said, “Through SOMIGO, which has strong distribution competitiveness in China, we have decided to export products worth 10 billion KRW, including cosmetics and beauty devices,” adding, “The initial shipment has been completed at Incheon Port and will soon arrive at SOMIGO’s bonded warehouse in China.”

SOMIGO secures various competitive advantages such as ▲immediate launch of new products ▲exemption from complicated foreign currency payment systems ▲15-day payment cycle ▲duty-free status, helping product suppliers achieve rapid cash flow. Next Eye’s strategy through this cooperation with SOMIGO is to create new opportunities and maximize profitability by advancing and expanding the market for Hallyu products.

A SOMIGO official stated, “To respond to the enthusiasm for K-beauty among the 150 million loyal members owned by BTG Homeinns Hotels Group, we are importing Hallyu products worth 10 billion KRW in preparation for the year-end and New Year shopping season,” and added, “With Next Eye and YUMIDO Group’s expertise in the cosmetics industry, trend forecasting, and product planning capabilities, we expect to more accurately grasp Chinese consumers’ demand for Hallyu products.”
