A 'House of New Beauty' that embodies the 'Create New Beauty' corporate vision, 

integrating a brand showroom, a research center, and personalized beauty experiences

SEOUL, South Korea, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Amorepacific reopened its flagship store, AMORE YONGSAN, at its headquarters in Yongsan, Seoul, on April 30. The space is designed to bring the company's corporate vision, "Create New Beauty," to life, offering customers a firsthand experience. As a next-generation beauty flagship, the store integrates a brand showroom, diagnostic and bespoke cosmetics services, a research space, and community functions.

"Create New Beauty" is Amorepacific's corporate vision, centered on creating new forms of beauty together with customers through technology and science-driven innovation. AMORE YONGSAN embodies the vision across its space, services, and overall customer experience, brought together under the concept of a "House of New Beauty."

AMORE YONGSAN serves as a K-beauty showroom where visitors can explore Amorepacific's key brands and latest products in one place. At the same time, it operates as a research-driven space offering skin diagnostics and bespoke cosmetics services powered by advanced beauty technologies. Researchers engage directly with customers, and AI-based analysis enables both real-time assessment of current skin conditions and predictions of future changes. Customers create personalized products on-site, complete with their own names. The store experience incorporates Amorepacific's "Holistic Longevity" philosophy throughout the space, extending the concept of beauty beyond the skin to encompass overall wellness.

The centerpiece of AMORE YONGSAN is 'AMORE BESPOKE,' a customized cosmetics service designed to reflect each customer's individual characteristics and preferences. It enables the on-site creation of made-to-order products across categories including base makeup, lip products, and hair care.

As part of the relaunch, the shade range available for the HERA CUSTOM MATCH FOUNDATION service has been expanded to include tones No. 3 through No. 50, along with the addition of the 'Reflection Skin Glow' option alongside the existing 'Silky Stay' and 'Black Cushion' lines. Customers can now select from a wider range of customized base makeup options suited to their skin tone and preferences. The HERA CUSTOM MATCH LIP service has also been broadened, evolving from a consultation-based service to include a self-experience zone. Through the newly introduced self-color diagnostic program, customers can identify and try lip colors best suited to them.

The MISE-EN-SCENE PERFECT SERUM BESPOKE service offers up to 45 customized hair serum formulations, tailored to each customer's hair condition and fragrance preferences. All bespoke services are supported in multiple languages, ensuring accessibility for visitors from abroad.

Also introduced with this relaunch is 'CITY LAB,' a skin and scalp diagnostic service that further differentiates the AMORE YONGSAN experience. Through 'My Skin Future,' a next-generation skin diagnostic service that integrates decades of Amorepacific's skin research data with AI algorithms, customers can visually assess both their current skin condition and projected future changes based on lifestyle factors.

At 'AMORE BEAUTY LAB' within AMORE YONGSAN, customers can move beyond simple product trials to participate in product testing, sensory response studies, and interviews, contributing to the product development process. By making the journey from customer feedback to finished products and services more transparent, Amorepacific aims to extend its "Create New Beauty" vision into the core of the customer experience.

AMORE YONGSAN has further enhanced the experience for international visitors through multilingual customer service, global payment systems, and on-site tax refund services. Country-specific product curation, a dedicated gift zone, and event spaces will function as hubs for brand launches, VIP programs, and influencer engagements.

An Amorepacific spokesperson said, "AMORE YONGSAN is a place where customers can directly experience and co-create the 'Create New Beauty' vision," adding that the store "delivers a new kind of beauty experience, from personalized cosmetics and advanced skin analysis to participation in product development." The spokesperson also noted that Amorepacific will continue to expand customer touchpoints that embody its "Holistic Longevity" philosophy.

AMORE YONGSAN is located on the second floor of Amorepacific's headquarters. Reservations for 'AMORE BESPOKE,' 'CITY LAB' diagnostic services, and beauty classes can be made via AMORE MALL. Additional information is available on the official AMORE YONGSAN website.

Postauto treibt den Einsatz autonomer Fahrzeuge in der Ostschweiz voran und bereitet nach eigenen Angaben Europas grösstes Robo-Taxi-Netz vor. Das Bundesamt für Strassen (Astra) hat dem Unternehmen eine Ausnahmebewilligung erteilt, damit die speziell ausgerüsteten E-Autos im St. Galler Rheintal sowie in den Kantonen Appenzell Ausserrhoden und Appenzell Innerrhoden automatisch verkehren dürfen. Seit dem 1. Juni sind die Fahrzeuge in einem rund 80 Quadratkilometer grossen Gebiet unterwegs – vorerst noch zu Testzwecken und mit Sicherheitsfahrerinnen und -fahrern an Bord.

Herzstück des Projekts ist die Flotte von bis zu 25 sogenannten "AmiGo"-Fahrzeugen, die im Endausbau mit Automatisierungsgrad Level 4 fahren sollen. Postauto kooperiert dafür mit Apollo Go, der Robotaxi-Sparte des chinesischen Technologiekonzerns Baidu. Die Fahrzeuge werden im typischen Postauto-Gelb lackiert und elektrisch betrieben. Während der Testphase dürfen die Sicherheitsfahrer ihre Hände vom Lenkrad nehmen; sie können jedoch jederzeit eingreifen, wenn die Situation es erfordert – etwa an unübersichtlichen Verzweigungen oder bei forsch auftretendem Gegenverkehr.

Im Alltagstest auf einer festgelegten Route in Altstätten (SG) zeigt sich das System laut Projektbeteiligten bereits weitgehend stabil, auch wenn der Fahrkomfort in Kurven noch nicht an einen menschlichen Chauffeur heranreicht. Auffällig ist das sehr defensive Verhalten, etwa vor Fussgängerstreifen, wo das Fahrzeug früh abbremst, selbst wenn sich Personen noch in einiger Entfernung befinden. Gesteuert wird der Betrieb zusätzlich aus einer Leitstelle, in der Operatorinnen und Operatoren die Fahrten überwachen und bei Bedarf aus der Ferne eingreifen können.

Der reguläre Betrieb mit fahrerlosen Fahrzeugen ist ab 2027 vorgesehen. Postauto plant, dass Fahrgäste in der Region ihre autonome Fahrt dann probeweise per App buchen können. Astra-Direktor Jürg Röthlisberger sieht im automatisierten Fahren eine grosse Chance und spricht dem Projekt das Potenzial eines "Gamechangers" zu. Es ist nicht der erste Versuch mit selbstfahrenden Fahrzeugen in der Schweiz, aber nach Umfang und Einsatzgebiet der bislang weitreichendste. Die Technologie soll schrittweise verfeinert und insbesondere für ländliche Regionen erprobt werden, in denen flexible, bedarfsgesteuerte Angebote die bestehende Grunderschliessung ergänzen könnten.
