CJ Olive Young
CJ Olive Young began operations in 2019 as a CJ Group platform focused on beauty and healthcare e-commerce. Parent CJ Corp holds 51.15 percent, with Lee family members Lee Sun-ho and Lee Kyung-hoo holding additional stakes. The structure ties investment activity directly to the retail business rather than a standalone mandate. The firm pursues buyout, early-stage seed, and expansion strategies. It operates the Mutual Growth Fund with IBK Industrial Bank of Korea to back small beauty brands. Confirmed holdings include private-label businesses BIOHEAL BOH and WAKEMAKE. Geographic reach covers South Korea and the United States through the CJ Olive Young USA subsidiary and a 3,600-square-meter logistics center in Bloomington, California. Logistics assets include the Anseong Logistics Center and CJ Yangji Logistics Center in South Korea. The firm maintains two foundations, the CJ Nanum Foundation established in 2005 and the CJ Welfare Foundation. No dated operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. Ownership remains concentrated within the CJ Group and Lee family branches, with investment decisions executed through corporate channels rather than an independent family-office vehicle.
