In April, CJ OnStyle introduced "Ohana Hatake" to the Korean market for the first time through its largest annual shopping festival, "Come On Style." The initial stock sold out quickly, and the mobile live broadcast recorded 400,000 page views, ranking first in monthly live viewership in the fashion category.


Riding this wave of enthusiasm, CJ OnStyle has secured the second batch of "Ohana Hatake" for the first time. Moving forward, the company will host a relay live broadcast featuring celebrity MCs such as broadcaster Kim Hoyoung, actress Ki Eunse, and broadcaster Lee Nayeon.



A CJ OnStyle representative stated, "As customer preferences become more segmented, the value of influential IP-based products is growing even further. CJ OnStyle is rapidly expanding its IP commerce across sports, K-content, and global character collaborations. In this context, the collaboration with Takashi Murakami marks an important milestone in strengthening our global IP portfolio."
