religion. Buddhism and Confucianism are the most influential religions in the lives of the South
Korean people. Buddhism, which arrived in Korea in 372 AD, has tens of thousands of temples
built across the country.
- Aesthetics
Physical appearance and a self-assured relationship are the biggest characteristics of
aesthetics in South Korea. Women are the number one consumers of cosmetic items in the world,
spending six times longer performing beauty routines as French women. Because of this
infatuation with physical appearances, plastic surgery has risen to popularity in recent years.
Changing one’s physical appearance is like a simple act of societal initiation in South Korea. With
a love of luxury and appearance, one's relationship with their own body is significant. Their
infatuation with aesthetics has continued to grow, and it is not slowing down anytime soon.

efficient, and ex-pats will find a variety of both Western and Eastern treatment options. Life
expectancy in the country has been increasing over the years. Recently, the life expectancy age
has increased to nearly 90.
2.1.6. Language
Korean is the formal language in South Korea. With a number of dialects in South Korea,
Hanguk is the most commonly used. Other dialects include Yongseo, Jeju, Seoul, Jeolla,
Gyeongsang, and Chungcheong. By the 19th century, the Hangul alphabet gained popularity and
replaced the Chinese influences. Korean has three major speech stages linked to politeness: plain,
politeness, and deferential. English is considered the second language of South Korea, but the
majority of people do not speak it fluently.
2.2. How does the cultural information helpful in understanding the effect on the
market?
South Korea is one of the top 10 beauty markets in the world, and it is constantly growing.
The South Korean beauty and personal care products market is projected to grow at a CAGR of
5.22% during the forecast period (2021-2026). The COVID-19 outbreak in South Korea has had
varying impacts across the beauty and personal care market. Mass beauty and personal care have
benefited, with consumers trading down from more upmarket offerings as they spend more time
at home. Another notable trend is the rise of do-it-yourself (DIY) beauty care. Many beauty salons
have been closed, and even in places where they have not, consumers are forgoing services because
of concerns about close physical contact. As a result, DIY hair coloring, nail care, and care in other
beauty categories are finding new customers in the country. In South Korea, there is immense
societal pressure to conform to the community and societal expectations placed on the individual.
This is evident in the theorization of what influences both Korean men and women to want to strive
to achieve a strict beauty standard.The result from this particular study supports the previous
evidence from Keong Ja Woo, who analyzed how beauty standards in Korea, in regard to one’s
height, weight, and facial preference, body impacted their chances of employment. Appearance is
often seen as a means for socioeconomic success in the rapidly modernized post-war economy of
South Korea, which has seen a sluggish job growth rate after its economic boom. Some Koreans
view investments in beauty, such as cosmetic products and medical beauty treatments, such as
plastic surgery, dermatology, and cosmetic dentistry, as a means of cultural capital to get an edge
over peers for social and economic advancement. Other cultural factors such as the hardened
Confucianism in Korean society have been quoted as a prominent factor. Majority of the
Confucius's philosophy created the gender roles and norms in Korea, which some of his teachings
have been sustained even through modern Korea. Women are more likely to examine and make
changes to their bodies and face in order to adhere to the beauty standards projected by the
objectification theory that views women as “objects”. This raises the observation that impractical
beauty standards could be caused by highly patriarchal societies that only promote unbending
gender roles, which is then reflected by the influence of Confucianism in Korean history.

The customer target of MAC nail lacquer focuses on women aged from 16 to 30 years old,
with average incomes or higher. Because women at this age often care a lot about their appearance
due to the high pressure to find a job. Also, this group is mostly people who are studying, working,
have social contact with many people, which leads to the fact that the beauty needs of this group
is also substantial. All of the favorable conditions above have proven that Korea is a potential
market for nail care products. As a result, our company decided to export MAC nail polish to this
country.

3.1.1. Population
- Total
The current population of the Republic of Korea is 51,335,014 as of Thursday, December
30, 2021, based on Worldometer elaboration of the latest United Nations data. South Korea's
population is equivalent to 0.66% of the total world population. South Korea ranks number 28 in
the list of countries (and dependencies) by the current population of the Republic of Korea is
51,335,014 as of Thursday, December 30, 2021, based on Worldometer elaboration of the latest
United Nations data.
In 2020, the number of births in South Korea was estimated to stand at around 272
thousand, recording the lowest figure during the last 20 years. This was less than half of the birth
number in 2000.
- Distribution of population
4.7% of the population is under 5; 11.5% is between the ages of 6 and 14, 13.6% falls
between ages 16 and 24, 62.9% falls between ages 25 and 69, and 7.3% of the population is over
70 years old. Men make up 50.03% of the population, while females make up the remaining
49.97% of the population.
Moreover, South Korea covers 99,720 sq km, 18.1% of which is used for agriculture, and
63.9% is forest. The remaining area is used for other purposes and is generally urbanized. About
70% of the country is covered with hills and mountains, meaning that the majority of the
population lives on the lowlands, which make up just 30% of the area. South Korea is made up of
eight provinces and one autonomous territory, the island of Jeju. The northwestern province of
Gyeonggi, containing Seoul, is the most densely populated region of the country. By comparison,
the northeastern province of Gangwon is the least densely populated region of South Korea.

3.1.2. Economic statistics and activity
- Gross national product (GNP or GDP)
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in South Korea was worth 1630.53 billion US dollars
in 2020, according to official daThe Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in South Korea was worth
1630.53 billion US dollars in 2020, according to official data from the World Bank. The GDP
value of South Korea represents 1.44 percent of the world economy from the World Bank.
Meanwhile, South Korea Gross National Product (GNP) was reported at 457.323 USD billion in
Sep 2021. This records a decrease from the previous number of 461.301 USD billion for Jun 2021.
- Income classes
South Korea’s middle class accounted for 65.7% of the population, a 1.7 percent decrease
compared to the previous year. Korea’s National Statistical Office defines the middle class as 50-
150 percent of the country’s median income. As a declining trend has been seen in the middle
class, it is largely attributed to the deterioration in the country’s income disparity, as the gap
between the rich and poor is widening. The distorted distribution is also being attributed to the
growing competition in self-employment, leading to lower earnings and a spike in low-income
earners.
- Surface transportation
Railways are one of the primary methods of transportation in South Korea. There are
multiple railway providers, but the sole passenger provider is KORAIL. Railway systems run
throughout the country, linking cities for easy, affordable, and efficient travel. In April of 2004,
the Korean Train Express was put into service, reaching a top speed of 300 km/hr on a fitted high-
speed track. It utilizes two lines: the Gyeongbu and the Honam lines. Subway systems have also
been heavily utilized in South Korea since their introduction in 1968. Subways are fully
operational in 4 cities, including Seoul, Busan, Daegu, and Incheon. Korean bus services are
offered regionally and locally. Almost every town is served by the regional bus service. Apart from
those, there are also ferries and taxis in South Korea.
- Communication systems
South Korea offers five main types of communication: Telephone, Postal, Internet, Radio,
and Television. In the 1980s, telecommunication services greatly improved in South Korea due to
the assistance of foreign partners and the development of the electronics industry.
+ Radio and T.V: The radio is a popular form of communication used by many residents of
South Korea. It is a source of free music, current events, and celebrity news with over 200
current broadcasting stations. South Korea currently ranks 46th in the world by the number
of television broadcast stations. The three largest networks are KBS, MBC, and SBS, with
major studios located in Yeouido and Sangam-dong. There are approximately 14 million
cable TV subscribers nationwide. Radio and television now reach virtually every resident
in South Korea.
+ Phone: The three main cell phone service providers in South Korea are SK Telecom, KT,
and LG Uplus. South Korea does not have a GSM network, which means roaming
9
opportunities are limited. The overall telephone network in South Korea has excellent
domestic and international services.
+ Postage: Korea Post is the national postal service of South Korea, providing fast and
reliable postal services and any additional postal services for residents.
+ Internet: As one of the world’s most wired countries, there are many Internet cafes
ubiquitous throughout the country. There are about 19 million households, and 99.2% of
them have internet access, deeming South Korea to have the highest number of broadband
users. The rapid growth is a result of a combination of government subsidies and market
factors. On average, South Koreans spend 14.3 hours a week on the internet.
- Foreign investment
South Korea’s rapid economic growth over the last decade, in addition to the constant
innovation of information technologies, makes South Korea a desirable place to invest for other
nations. Some of the foreign nations that most heavily invest in South Korea include the United
States, China, Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Singapore, the UK, and Vietnam. The lack of
transparency with South Korea’s trade regulations is something to be cautious of.
The most popular industries for foreign investment in South Korea include shipbuilding,
automobiles, electronics, cosmetics, textiles, and the production of TV and music.
- Exchange rates
South Korea has a single free-floating exchange rate that is determined by supply and
demand, similar to the United States. (The Bank of Korea). Currently, the South Korean Won is
worth 0.000892% of the U.S. dollar. The South Korean Won is fairly stable, and there isn’t a lot
of fluctuation between it and the U.S. Dollar.
- Trade restrictions
Embargoes, quotas, and import taxes are expected to be eliminated between the United
States and South Korea due to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). Tariffs on U.S.
cosmetics that are exported to South Korea have been significantly reduced by the passage of the
KORUS FTA and will be eliminated over the next 10 years.
10
from the previous year, according to the Ministry of Science and ICT. The total R&D spending
translates to 4.64 percent of South Korea's gross domestic product (GDP) last year.
The labor force and the general population of South Korea have a substantial understanding
of technology, as most of the country's exports are technology-based.
11
Retail warehouse and logistics properties are attracting new interest from overseas
companies despite lower demand among other industrial spaces during the financial downturn.
Korea has the world’s fastest-growing consumer market for perishable foods and pharmaceutical
products, but its per capita refrigerated warehouse space is less than one-tenth of most developed
countries.
- Penetration of urban and rural markets
A greater number of items are vying for limited retail space in both urban and rural areas.
Consumers are being bombarded with products and promotions by an abundance of domestic and
multinational companies. Statistics will highlight the product and purchasing frenzy most
efficiently.
3.2.2. Media
- Availability of media
South Korea is, by all measures, a media rich-country. Television is ubiquitous too, with
two national networks, over forty cable channels, and a digital satellite broadcasting service
offering seventy-four channels. Koreans are avid users of new technologies as well. The
availability and adoption of new communication devices in South Korea are on a par with the
world's most industrialized countries.
- Costs
Television advertising expenditures were a total of $2.48 billion in 2017. Total media
advertising expenditures grew by 4.3% to $6.2 billion in 2017. Advertisers dedicated $2.27 billion
towards mobile advertising last year, and in 2021, advertising expenditures exceed $10 billion.
- Agency assistance
Development cooperation efforts were focused mainly on meeting the basic human needs
of developing countries and on fostering their human resources development. The focus has now
broadened to promoting sustainable development, strengthening partnerships with developing
partners, and enhancing the local ownership of beneficiaries.

4.2. Evaluation of the target market in which the product is to be sold
14
We will not use other middlemen to sell the product.
- Advertising and Promotion:
+ Advertising Media Usually Used to Reach Target Market
We will usually use magazines, television, the internet, or social media to promote our
product. We will not use newspaper, as the product is very color-oriented and is being marketed
to the high end. The product is also very visual, so the radio is not going to be effective, especially
given its low reach of only 12% of the population.
+ Sales Promotions Customarily Used (sampling, coupons, etc.):
Coupons - Potential customers are often incentivized to buy a product through coupons.
Premiums - Premiums are fairly common in South Korea and are usually sent through the mail
with the intention of gaining consumer interest.
- Pricing Strategy
MAC Chrome Lacquer will be priced at the higher end of the market. Specifically, it will
start at $10.75/ bottle (412,036.34). Our product is a differentiator and offers many health benefits,
and we believe it is worth more than the industry average. Upon the launch of the product, MAC
will offer a 15% discount for the first month. Additional promotions may apply in the future.
4.2.2. Compare and contrast your product and the competition’s product(s)
- Competitors’ products

also offers a wide range of colors to choose from.

polish bottles are typically 8ml, but Peripera chooses to use a 15ml bottle designed to make
their polishes last longer.
+ Skinfood - Skinfood offers a line of topcoats and base coats along with their regular
polishes in order to attract consumers to the idea of keeping your nails healthy and strong.
- Our brand name - MAC Chrome Lacquer
- Our features - We will offer primary and secondary colors that turn dark shade when it’s
warm, and a light shade when it’s cold. For example, if someone were to purchase the red
polish, it would turn a maroon/burgundy the warmer it gets. The red would then turn pink
as the temperature cools down.

polish bottle will be clear glass, with an iridescent cap.

Etude House promotes themselves in commercials, often portraying young women going
through their cosmetics items and ending with Etude in their hands. Their slogan,“Wanna be
sweet? Play Etude”, appears at the end of the advertisement. The company also uses pop-up
advertising windows, as well as outdoor ads found on transportation.
+ TonyMoly
There was a huge increase in demand when they began putting a whimsical spin on their
packaging, such as containers shaped like peaches, eggs, tomatoes, or tangerines. Along with this,
they use unique ingredients like snail mucin and vegetable extracts. Their key communication
strategy has been viral marketing, specifically utilizing make-up artists and power bloggers to
share their products. The company does not choose television as the central piece of their
advertisings, as the company only advertises on TV in a very concentrated manner. TonyMoly
typically runs one TV campaign a year, and it almost always features an identified celebrity within
the beauty community.
+ Innisfree
Innisfree advertises heavily for the emotional appeal. They often feature Jeju Island to
emphasize the relationship the island has with South Korea. Jeju is the main source of Innisfree’s
ingredients, so they acknowledge Jeju Island and its natural state, promising to keep to solve skin
problems as a leader of nature-based beauty products.
+ Peripera
Peripera utilizes many popular South Korean influencers to speak highly of their brand.
They also use vibrant colors on their packaging to catch the attention of consumers. In the past,
Peripera has collaborated with famous TV characters like the Powerpuff Girls to offer limited
edition products showcasing the characters on the packaging.
- Competitors’ distribution channels
+ Etude House - Much of Etude House’s sales come through their website and their 10+ brick
and mortar stores located throughout the country.

online store that contributes to a lot of their sales.

department store to find the products. Like their competition, Innisfree also sells their
product on their website.

the bigger cities. Products can also be purchased on their online store.

Executive Summary
When deciding how to market MAC Cosmetics nail lacquer, there are several factors that
we must consider. When it comes to sales in exporting goods, we must determine the economic
and cultural factors in the country where we decide to export the product. South Korea is one of
the most developed countries in Asia, with a preference for beauty products stemming from its
culture. The second point is which payment method will the company use? In the case of MAC
nail polish, the best payment method would be a credit card. In marketing budgets, we may
determine that future revenue projections will exceed our future costs and expenditures.
Target market, promotion mix and sale promotion are the keys for MAC nail lacquer to
penetrate the Korean market, with the fact that nail art is growing and K-pop culture is increasingly
having a substantial on Koreans. Our combination of promotion and sales are the leading factors
to our success. If our promotions are lacking and do not affect the market, our entry to South Korea
is a bad investment.
