Men only cosmetics shops debut in Seoul

摘要

Manstudio, a cosmetics shop specifically for men has recently opened in Seoul's Hongdae, a district popular with students and young people. A decade ago, visiting such a place would have been deemed unmanly but now male grooming has become a fast growing business with Korean men showing especial interest in skin care products. About 50 to 60 men regularly visit the store each week for facial and hair treatments, which cost KRW 25,000-KRW 50,000.
