Show Notes
You might have seen the social media buzz over Korean beauty products, also known as K-Beauty. It remains a booming industry — South Korea exported a record $11 billion in cosmetics in 2025.
Now, K-Beauty has a new hub in San Diego: the skincare store Seoul Glow Lab.
Wednesday on Midday Edition, we sit down with the founder of Seoul Glow Lab and one of its estheticians to talk about the boom in Korean beauty, along with the community and education building around it locally.
Guests:
- Katie Hernandez, founder, Seoul Glow Lab
- Sabrina Kim, esthetician, Seoul Glow Lab, founder, Soul Care Standard
