South Korea Fashion Influencer Marketing Market to Reach Around USD 14.25 Billion by 2035, Aided by The Presence of Koreans on Social Media Platforms.

South Korea is ranked 2nd with the largest number of active social media users globally. 38.4 million people out of 52 million are active users on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. The most frequently used social media sites in South Korea are YouTube, KakaoTalk, and Facebook (NASDAQ: META). Hence, the rising social media usage in the country is aiding the South Korea fashion influencer marketing market expansion.

Businesses in South Korea find it a lucrative opportunity to promote their businesses through fashion influencers to gain consumer attention. Brands urge such influencers to showcase their clothes or other products at fashion shows, designer dinners, events, special excursions, and social media picture shoots, and sometimes it involves paid sponsorships. Some of the most-followed influencers include lomon991111 with 6.5 million followers, Leeyoum262 with 6.4 million followers, and Yujin_an with 5.9 million followers.

In February 2024, iKala Interactive Media Inc., a leading AI transformation solutions provider, updated its AI influencer marketing service, KOL Radar, to include important updates such as "Audience Authenticity Detection," "Competitor Analysis," and the integration of "New Korean Influencer Data." These services help brands gain valuable AI-driven data from an expanding database of around 3 million influencers across eight Asian countries. The service platform KOL Radar included 700,000 Korean influencer profiles from Instagram in March 2024. This enables brand owners to better understand influencer marketing trends and key areas, grow into new international markets, and lower barriers to cross-border business by using AI influencer data. It also gives them access to influencer data that is particular to their target markets.
