K-BEAUTY 'HANOK': KSISTERS' NEW LIFESTYLE STORE

The 700 sq ft space is the vision of Ms Jungmin Lee, 38, the Singapore-based South Korean founder of Ksisters and Jung Beauty.

After eight years of captivating Singapore's K-beauty lovers online with viral South Korean beauty products like Lavien's Hydrogel Mask and Mediheal's Toner Pads, Ms Lee has created a space that showcases South Korea's beauty traditions with modern wellness ideals.

All soft wooden textures and natural tones, the boutique created in collaboration with a Singapore-based interior design firm is inspired by the hanok, a traditional Korean home.

Ms Lee has championed wellness as part of Ksisters' ethos from the start, and a substantial area of the boutique reflects her commitment to a holistic beauty philosophy.
