In this episode of Love, Saranghae, Peter and Andrea take us inside Peter’s recent trip to South Korea, where he visited Korean skincare manufacturers, attended Cosmo Beauty in Seoul, explored the latest beauty trends, and saw firsthand what is happening in one of the most innovative skincare markets in the world.While many people in North America think of Korea as the birthplace of K-beauty, Peter explains why the Korean skincare market is so much more than glass skin, sheet masks, and 10-step routines.

At its best, it is about consistency, prevention, innovation, and treating skincare as a daily practice.
