История
Established in 2002 by Kim Min-yang, 09WOMEN began as an online retailer addressing the lack of diverse sizing in South Korea. It holds historical significance as a pioneer in the Korean plus-size industry, challenging rigid regional beauty standards. The brand transitioned from a digital storefront to physical retail locations, influencing the growth of the "big size" market. Its development reflects a shift toward size inclusivity in a historically homogeneous fashion landscape.
