History

Launched in 2012 by Samsung C&T Fashion Group, 8seconds was established to counter the dominance of international fast-fashion retailers in South Korea. Its name reflects the concept that humans form an impression of style within eight seconds. The brand played a significant role in globalizing Korean retail standards through high-profile collaborations, including a notable partnership with G-Dragon. It remains a central fixture in the domestic commercial fashion landscape and the expansion of K-style.
