Summary · why it matters

South Korean fashion retailer Musinsa has filed for a preliminary review by the Korea Exchange, advancing toward a Kospi main board listing. A spokesperson confirmed the submission on September 7, with the company backed by KKR. The IPO could value Musinsa at up to 10 trillion won ($7.42 billion), ranking among South Korea's largest listings in recent years. Musinsa plans to go public in late 2026 or early 2027, having posted revenue exceeding 5 trillion won last year. Co-CEO Nam Cho targets 3 trillion won in overseas sales by 2030, with China contributing a third. The company operates two online marketplaces, Musinsa and 29cm, and recently signed a distribution deal with ACX Holdings to enter the Philippines' offline retail market. A successful IPO would boost Seoul's primary listings market, which has slowed this year.
