Wconcept appoints fashion expert Lee Ji-eun as CEO to narrow gap with 29CM
Wconcept, a women\'s fashion platform under South Korea\'s Shinsegae Group, has appointed fashion expert Lee Ji-eun as chief executive, replacing former CEO Lee Ju-cheol, a strategy veteran from Gmarket. The company said the change aims to strengthen competitiveness in fashion, its core business. Wconcept\'s operating profit and revenue have shown uneven performance since its acquisition by Shinsegae\'s SSG.com. The transaction-value gap with Musinsa-owned 29CM has widened to about twofold, industry officials said.
