The firm’s market capitalization is expected to surpass 1 trillion won ($871 million) on the favorable reputation it has been building in the ever-evolving K-beauty industry since 1997.

In 2015, CLIO generated revenue of 107 billion won and operating profit of 22.5 billion won, a noteworthy jump from the previous year.

LVMH’s private equity unit L Capital’s recent investment of US$ 50 million in the firm is believed to have worked as a catalyst in its decision to go public.
