K-Pop global platform company Ktown4u announced on November 3 that it has established a new company, FBK, by spinning off its logistics division in order to enhance the expertise and growth potential of each business segment.


After the split, the surviving entity, Ktown4u, will focus on the e-commerce division, while the newly established company will concentrate on the logistics division. This move aims to maximize competitiveness and growth potential in each business segment, thereby strengthening core business capabilities. The split ratio is 90% for Ktown4u and 10% for FBK.


The decision to split Ktown4u stems from changes in the global logistics environment. With the global expansion of K-culture, the global B2C reverse direct purchase market, which involves small-scale cross-border transactions between individuals, is rapidly growing. The role of logistics is expanding beyond simple delivery to encompass complex and specialized service capabilities such as tax, customs clearance, and returns management.


The newly established company, created by spinning off the logistics division, will expand its business into international multimodal transport services and global shipping agency services, actively responding to the demand for advanced integrated logistics business solutions.


Song Hyomin, CEO of Ktown4u, stated, "Through the split, we are implementing tailored growth strategies for both the e-commerce and logistics sectors. Building on our leadership in the K-pop album and merchandise e-commerce market, we aim to become a leading K-culture platform driving the rapidly growing cross-border reverse direct purchase market."
