One of the largest events in the Korean beauty industry is the International Beauty Exhibition InterCharm. And today is the last day of the exhibition. This is probably one of the largest beauty exhibitions after the pandemic.

InterCharm exhibition

This year the exhibition took place from August 30 to September 1 at the COEX Exhibition Complex in Seoul. About 500 companies participated, and more than 25,000 people visited the exhibition itself. According to statistics, every year people from more than 50 countries come to this exhibition.

First of all, the InterCharm exhibition is an opportunity to get acquainted with trends and new products in the beauty industry not only in Korea but also in other countries of the world. This year, there were many foreign pavilions such as India, China, Japan, etc.

The exhibition presents not only cosmetics, but also equipment, beauty gadgets, cosmeceuticals, dietary supplements and vitamins, packaging, and so on. In general, everything that is connected with beauty.

Also, the InterCharm International Beauty Exhibition is an opportunity for young companies to express themselves and find partners. And this year, many new brands could be found at the exhibition. One of the brands was presented at the Inter Charm exhibition.

In addition, the exhibition hosts various events, seminars, and competitions. And each visitor can win different prizes.

Beauty industry trends

Many companies and brands are focusing heavily on the environment. The so-called 'eco-friendly' trend. Preference is given to quickly recyclable plastic, replacing plastic with paper or other less environmentally harmful materials, etc.

For example, one of the companies, instead of using stickers on jars, knocks out the name of the product on the lid. Or attach a paper card.

Also, a lot of Vegan products have appeared. They are trying to make cosmetics compositions more natural, abandoning artificial ingredients.

And of course, dietary supplements and vitamins. Beauty comes from within. And how we look depends on our health. Therefore, more and more dietary supplements and vitamins are appearing on the Korean market. The most trendy are collagen sticks in jelly and liquid form.

Unusual companies

This year InterCharm featured a variety of companies with a variety of products. Some of them were quite unusual, and to some extent even shocking, especially for Korea.

First, there was a full range of goods and equipment for hairdressing salons. And in order to properly acquaint customers with their products, the company launched a mini-salon right at the exhibition. They provide a full package of services, from shampooing to hair styling. And guess what? The queue was impressive.

The shocking product was from a company that specializes in feminine hygiene. They had a fairly large booth, which exhibited photographs with the results of using the company's products. What kind of product is this? These are masks for female genital organs 🙂

High school graduation exam in Korea or Korean version of SAT

Who doesn’t like to have fun? Of course, everyone likes to chill outside instead of studying or working. Especially, when it is a golden fall season and the weather is perfect to stay outside. But, unfortunately, some people can’t go out and take a rest. I am talking about high school students, who are going to graduate soon. Seokchon Lake, Seoul Every year in the mid of November Korean high school students have graduation exams or something like an SAT exam in the US, or a Unified State Exam (USE) in Russia. It is a national exam, which is very important. Because exam scores will decide which university students will go to. And that is very important, because as many of you probably know, there is a strong hierarchy in Korean society, and the rank of University plays a significant role as well. And everyone tries to get admission to the high-ranked University. I didn’t take the American version of SAT nor the Korean one. So, I can’t tell you about it in detail. But my brother passed U

Getting Closer to Korean Aviation

It was a while since I took you with me on my trips around Korea. I have lots of photos, notes, and emotions that I want to share with you. And today I want to show you one of the museums, that I visited a couple of weeks ago. It is a National Aviation Museum of Korea that opened its doors just in July 2020. National Aviation Museum of Korea The museum is located in Seoul, right near the Gimpo Airport. So, if you will be around the Gimpo Airport, and have free time, visit the museum. It is free of charge, except for different activities that you can try in the museum. But most of them are not so expensive, around $1-3. At the entrance to the museum, you will meet a cute plane robot. It has a name but I don’t really remember… The museum looks small from the outside, however, there are 3 floors full of different exhibitions, rest zones, etc. 1st Floor of the museum We started from the very 1st floor. It is the largest hall I think. It starts with a history of world aviation. Visitors can

TOPIK? What's this?

In the next section, you can see how points are distributed. You must have heard about the TOPIK exam. TOPIK is short for Test of Proficiency in Korean. And it is the most popular exam to determine the level of knowledge of the Korean language. Let's get to know this exam a little closer. The TOPIK certificate is asked for when entering a university in Korea when applying for a job when applying for a visa. Also, many universities in Korea can give you a grant in the form of a tuition discount depending on your TOPIK level.  History of TOPIK The very first TOPIK exam took place in 1997, and then only 2,274 people took it. And in 2021, a total of 330,016 people registered for the exam! Types of TOPIK Previously, TOPIK was divided into 2 types: B-TOPIK and S-TOPIK . What is the difference? S-TOPIK or Standard TOPIK is a regular TOPIK, i.e. for general purposes. A B-TOPIK or Business TOPIK for employment. S-TOPIK, in turn, was divided into elementary (1-2), intermediate (3-4) and adva
