KKR
KKR is one of the world’s largest private equity firms, and its acquisition of Samhwa made it one of the clearest outside-capital names in the current K-beauty infrastructure boom. The firm’s interest in packaging, not just products, says a lot about how the category is being valued now. KKR is not buying a fad. It is buying into the systems that help Korean beauty scale globally.
