NORTH KOREA: For years, the cosmetics industry has looked to Korea—make that South Korea—for inspiration. But Seoul won’t have the peninsula all to itself much longer if North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un gets his way. According to an article in The Korea Times, North Korean cosmetics companies are improving the quality of their beauty products. The focus on beauty is said to be inspired by Kim Jong-un’s wife who is well known for her fashionable look and stylish outfits.
Two North Korean cosmetic factories—Pyongyang Cosmetics Factory and the Sinuiju Cosmetics Factory—recently started rapidly modernizing their products and producing new ones, according to The Korea Times.
