About Me
Byunghoon Kim is cofounder and CEO of South Korean beauty-device maker APR, which stands for Advance People's Real life. He cofounded APR in 2014 with Lee Ju-kwang, who left the company in 2019. APR's devices use electrical stimulation to help the skin better absorb skincare products. It got a boost when American model Hailey Bieber said she uses APR in a TikTok video in 2023. APR went public in 2024, raising $71 million. Investors that backed APR before its IPO include CJ Onstyle, Lotte Ventures and state-owned Industrial Bank of Korea.
