107 was founded by Chloe Kwak, a Certified National Aesthetician in Korea, and Seyong Shin, CEO of one of the oldest and largest aged vinegar breweries in Korea. Chloe and Seyong first met in 2012, at a volunteer event for a philanthropic NGO Seyong had established. They became close friends in the years that followed, due largely to their shared belief in pursuing healthy, purpose-driven lives, both at work and at home. They launched 107 in 2015 because of another shared passion, aged vinegar. Entrepreneurs by profession, they started 107 to give purpose to that passion. To this day, Chloe and Seyong run 107 with a few goals committed to heart: to renew age-old beauty secrets using modern skincare technology; to develop skincare products that are truly effective and beneficial for all people; and to promote holistic wellness and welfare (not just physical beauty), both as a company and as citizens of a global community.
