I watched her lose confidence and saw how something that might seem small from the outside could affect how she felt about herself.

That was when I began to think about beauty differently.

It isn’t only about how you look. It can change how you feel about yourself.

And I kept coming back to one question:
Why should taking good care of your skin be so difficult?

Why should professional skin care require so much time, effort, and money?

I never planned to build a beauty brand.
I wanted to help my wife. I wanted to bring the kind of advanced skin care people would seek out in Seoul, into something she could use at home, on her own time, as part of everyday life.

That idea became THOME.

It took years. We failed many times. There were plenty of reasons to stop, and people who told me we should. But for me, this was never just a business problem.

So we kept going. We worked closely with experts, including dermatologist Dr. Jonghyun Yoon, and continued developing our skincare technology until we had something we truly believed in.

But over time, I realized the problem was much bigger than our own home.

There are so many people who want to take better care of their skin, but don’t always have the time, access, or means to make professional care part of their everyday lives.


That is the reason we continue building THOME today. To make advanced skin care easier to live with, and easier to make your own.

THOME began with something deeply personal.

It still is.

With gratitude and love from Seoul,

Founder & CEO, THOME
