500 Wang Hongs, also known as Chinese influencers, participated in Lotte Duty Free’s live broadcast event at its Seoul downtown duty-free stores on July 1.
During the event, the Wang Hongs introduced various K-Beauty brands such as Sulwhasoo, IOPE and Laneige to their followers and also demonstrated how to use the products. Lotte said that some of these Wang Hongs have a following of around 50 million.
The live show was held at Lotte’s Myeongdong headquarters and organized in collaboration with Chinese e-commerce giant Taobao. Taobao is owned by the Alibaba Group.
Commenting on the event, Kim Joon-soo, head of Lotte Duty Free's sales division said: “Lotte Duty Free will work hard to introduce various Korean brands, including cosmetics, to the world based on its 40-year know-how and global infrastructure.”
According to Lotte, the scale of this event is five times larger than a similar one organized in December last year. The retailer said it plans to continue working with Taobao to set up a channel to publicize local brands to overseas markets. In the future, Lotte also hopes to develop the Wang Hong live show as a regular event.
