History
Established in 2020 by the company Mediquart, Nugu emerged as a digital-first marketplace connecting Japanese consumers with Korean fashion trends. Its business model relies on social media influencers who act as creative directors for individual storefronts. This approach shifted traditional retail dynamics by prioritizing influencer-led curation over centralized brand identity. The platform represents the increasing cross-cultural exchange between the Japanese and South Korean apparel markets, driven primarily by digital platforms.
