History

edit

Olive Young's first store opened in 1999 in Sinsa.[2] In 2002, the company established a joint venture with Dairy Farm International part of the Jardine Matheson Group.[5] The joint venture was terminated in 2008, when Olive Young acquired the entirety of CJ company shares on the market.[6][clarification needed]

The company started importing organic cosmetics from Juice Beauty, a popular US cosmetics brand, in 2009.[7] It released CJ ONE, an integrated membership service for CJ Systems, in 2010.[8]
