Jung Saem Mool, Creative Director of Jung Saem Mool Beauty, participated as a panel speaker in the main session of the 'IWF London Conference 2026' held at Hilton London Metropole in London, UK, on May 15, 2026 (local time), with the aim of introducing the brand’s philosophy on the global stage and expanding its international presence. In her remarks, she presented the growth background and future vision of K-beauty.

The International Women's Forum (IWF) is a global leadership network where women leaders from around the world gather to discuss the future of industries, the economy, culture, and society as a whole. IWF’s flagship annual events, the 'World Leadership Conference' and the 'Cornerstone Conference,' address key agendas essential to leaders amid a rapidly changing global environment. These conferences are regarded as offering world-class content on par with the World Economic Forum and the Aspen Institute.

As a member of the Korean chapter of the International Women's Forum (IWF), currently chaired by Heo Geumju, artist Jung Saem Mool joined the panel alongside Millie Kendall OBE, CEO of the British Beauty Council. Together, they held an in-depth discussion on the changes and sustainability of the global beauty industry, as well as the direction of the beauty sector in the age of AI.

On this day, Jung Saem Mool stated, "Beauty is no longer about everyone pursuing the same standard; it is evolving toward expressing one's unique beauty." She identified the high standards of Korean consumers, the rapid pace of innovation, the influence of the Korean Wave, and the systematic beauty education system as key factors behind K-beauty’s prominence in the global market.

She also introduced her unique beauty philosophy, “Natural Beauty: Embracing Your True Self,” and presented the “Triangle Structure” business model, which organically links salon, academy, and brand. This structure is recognized as a competitive advantage unique to Jung Saem Mool Beauty, creating a virtuous cycle of on-site experience, education, and product development. She explained that this model, which originated in Korea, is now being leveraged from its Singapore base to expand into the Southeast Asian market, thereby sharing her vision for further global outreach.

In addition, she highlighted Jung Saem Mool Beauty’s use of AI, including AI-based skin analysis systems and branded content production, emphasizing that "AI is not a replacement for artists, but a tool to spread expertise and philosophy to a wider audience."

She also introduced the brand’s eco-friendly initiatives, such as developing reef-safe sun care products, obtaining vegan certification, using FSC-certified paper and soy ink, and shared her vision for sustainable beauty.

The global beauty market is currently undergoing a dramatic paradigm shift centered on hyper-personalized solutions powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and value-driven consumption focused on sustainability. Whereas the cosmetics industry once relied on uniform beauty standards and mass production, today’s major beauty ecosystem demands brands that maximize individual appeal through advanced technology while fulfilling environmental responsibilities; these criteria have become essential for entry into advanced markets such as Europe and North America.

A representative from Jung Saem Mool Beauty stated, "Participating in this IWF London Conference was a meaningful opportunity to introduce Jung Saem Mool’s beauty philosophy and K-beauty expertise to the global stage." They added, "We plan to continue expanding our global reach and promote Jung Saem Mool Beauty’s unique philosophy and artistry in the international market."

Meanwhile, Jung Saem Mool has established herself as a leading K-beauty artist in Korea, working for over 30 years as a makeup artist, educator, and brand director. Jung Saem Mool Beauty is accelerating efforts to strengthen its brand competitiveness across the global market, including Asia and North America.
