Womenswear brand Maryet says 90 percent of its products are self-made, helping it establish its brand identity after starting as a blog market and growing into its own online mall over six years. CEO Yoo Ji-su (유지수) said the company linked sales and inventory data using Cafe24’s inventory-linked product analysis service to improve advertising efficiency and operational performance. The brand releases 1 to 2 items weekly and sees strong demand for pants, including capri pants reordered 15 times.

South Korea\'s Broadcasting Media Communications Commission said an assessment of user-protection work at 47 telecommunications operators showed overall performance fell or was flat from a year earlier. The average score for 39 companies, excluding eight pilot-assessment firms, was 873.3 points, down 13.4 points. Grades for large carriers generally declined. The regulator cited shortcomings among value-added operators and said it would withhold or delay penalty-reduction benefits for top-rated firms.
