Founded by John Y. Chang, Sung Yong Chang, and Won Shik Kang, the business begins with a vision to make salon-quality, do-it-yourself beauty accessible to all. This foundation leads to the launch of the KISS brand in 1992 and establishes the basis for what would evolve into today’s multi-company platform.
