MessageCEO Greeting

We aim to be a bridge between consumers and the world, delivering dreams through our products.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support. My name is Hyunwoo Moon, and I am the President and CEO of Gekkasei Trading Co., Ltd.

At Gekkasei Trading, we are committed to our vision of becoming "the premier lifestyle and culture company that fulfills our customers' beauty and dreams." To achieve this, we deliver three core values to our consumers: Health, Beauty, and Vitality. Additionally, we pursue three fundamental management principles that form the foundation of our competitive strength:

Since childhood, my father always told me to respect people. While the traditional Japanese business philosophy of "Sanpō Yoshi" (three-way satisfaction: good for the seller, good for the buyer, and good for society) is widely recognized, our company aspires to go beyond. We aim to be a business that benefits all four key stakeholders: our customers, our business partners, our company, and our employees, including those who support us. Our goal is to establish a company that lasts long in Japan for the next 50 to 100 years.

Guided by our vision of being "a company that creates a better world and helps customers realize their dreams," we will continue to serve as a bridge connecting people worldwide. Through our company, we hope to open new horizons for our customers and help them see a broader world.

Thank you.

Management PrinciplesManagement philosophy

  • Distinctive and Substantial Differentiation

    At our company, we secure exclusive distribution rights for all the brands we handle, overseeing everything from product planning to offline sales in Japan. Since market trends, product preferences, and marketing strategies vary significantly from country to country, we deeply consider, "What does it take to make a brand successful in Japan?" Our goal is for consumers to recognize that products handled by Gekkasei Trading stand out from the rest. To achieve true differentiation, we believe in the continuous pursuit of innovation, the ability to quickly adapt to evolving consumer needs, and the ambition to set and achieve higher goals. Rather than settling for the status quo, we dedicate ourselves to daily efforts and continuous growth, ensuring that we remain one step ahead.

  • Building Lasting Relationships with Consumers Through Our Products

    In a market overflowing with countless products and brands, we constantly ask ourselves, "How can we provide products selected by consumers for long?" At Gekka Trading, in addition to distinctive differentiation and competitive advantage, we prioritize building strong consumer relationships through our products. From product planning to offline expansion in Japan, we focus on delivering quality and trust, ensuring that our consumers feel a deep connection with our brands. By maintaining consistent, thoughtful, and sustainable engagement, we aim to cultivate strong brand loyalty and establish enduring relationships with our customers.

  • Securing Competitive Advantage

    Even if we successfully differentiate ourselves from competitors, we recognize that capturing consumers' attention and sustaining their interest in our products and marketing is an ongoing challenge. To overcome this, we are dedicated to providing services that create emotional impact and memorable experiences. Also, we are proactively identifying and resolving any factors that may cause consumer dissatisfaction. At Gekkasei Trading, every team member approaches their work with a professional mindset, striving to offer products and marketing strategies that resonate with as many consumers as possible. Our ultimate goal is to continuously improve and innovate, ensuring our brand remains relevant and highly regarded in the industry.

Cosmetics Manufacturing and Sales Licenses

To operate a specialized cosmetics business, obtaining both a cosmetics manufacturing license and a cosmetics manufacturing and sales license is essential. Since acquiring these licenses in March 2021, we have been directly managing the entire process, from importation to sales.

Quasi-Drug Manufacturing and Sales Licenses

To further enhance our expertise in cosmetics, we have expanded beyond regular cosmetics to include quasi-drugs, allowing us to import and sell products that claim functions such as whitening and wrinkle improvement. In South Korea, there is no distinct category for quasi-drugs, and such products are typically classified as "functional cosmetics." However, at our company, we employ pharmacists and ensure strict management to comply with regulations. Since obtaining our quasi-drug manufacturing and sales licenses in March 2021, we have been directly overseeing the entire process, from importation to sales, ensuring quality and compliance every step of the way.
