CJ Group Chairman Lee Jay-hyun visited the group's key outposts in the United States, as the conglomerate ramps up efforts to expand its global footprint through CJ CheilJedang and Olive Young.
Lee visited Olive Young Pasadena in California on Friday (local time) to mark the store's opening, CJ Group said Sunday. It was the Korean beauty retailer brand’s first offline store outside the country.
CJ Corp. CEO Kim Hong-ki, CJ Olive Young CEO Lee Sun-jung and Head of CJ Future Strategy Group Lee Sun-ho, who is the chairman's eldest son, joined the visit.
Having established itself as a go-to spot for tourists in Korea, the store drew a long line during its opening day and attracted local media coverage.
