1. BeautySum Korea Suwon Pre-Registration: 4 Steps
Step 1: Register Online
Sign up on the official registration page by November 4 to enter free. On-site registration costs ₩10,000, so registering early saves money. The deadline falls one day before the show opens. The registration page is in Korean, but the site has an ENG menu button, and your browser’s translate tool also works.
Step 2: Check Your Registration
The official site has a “check my pre-registration” menu. Confirming before you travel saves trouble at the venue.
Step 3: Registration Desk and Kiosk
Per the official entry guide, pre-registrants visit the registration desk and scan their QR code at a kiosk. Invitation holders show the invitation at the on-site desk and register their details.
Step 4: Collect Your Badge
After the QR scan you receive an entry badge and can go in. On-site registrants scan a QR code, register and pay at the desk, then collect a badge. Sample kits are first-come each day, and the Olive Young gift card is a prize draw.
2. Dates & Venue: Which Programs Run on Which Day?
Thursday, November 5
The Suwon Global Beauty Summit runs 10:30 AM–3:00 PM and covers Korea, China, and Japan beauty industry trends. The Personal Color Makeup Seminar follows from 3:30 to 5:00 PM, with diagnosis demonstrations. The venue is Suwon Convention Center.
Friday, November 6
The Cosmetic Ingredient Insight Seminar runs 1:00–4:00 PM, and the K-Beauty BIGS Open Seminar & Innovation runs 1:00–5:00 PM. They start at the same time, so you need to choose. R&D fans may prefer the ingredients seminar; those curious about startups can pick BIGS.
November 5–7 Matching Programs
The ODM Brand Launch Connector runs 10:00 AM–5:00 PM and the Overseas Buyer Export Consultation runs 10:30 AM–5:00 PM, all three days. If you are planning a brand launch, they offer a chance to meet manufacturers in one place. Transport and parking details were not confirmed, so follow the official notice.
💡 Agoda lets you compare Suwon hotels in advance and check promotions!
Seminars and consultations can fill a day. If you are coming from far away, a Suwon hotel lets you take your time over two days or more. Rates may vary during the expo, so look at availability once your dates are set.
3. Tips for Foreign Visitors
Remember the Deadline
Pre-registration ends November 4, after which the ₩10,000 on-site fee applies. If you are sure you are going, register before the deadline.
Sample Kits Are First-Come
Kits are handed out daily on a first-come basis and can run out. Arrive early if you want one.
Watch for Overlapping Seminars
On November 6 at 1:00 PM, the ingredients seminar and K-Beauty BIGS start together. On November 5 the summit ends at 3:00 PM and the personal color seminar starts at 3:30 PM, so you have time to move.
Pick Your Categories
Exhibits cover skincare and makeup, OEM/ODM, packaging, derma and aesthetics, inner beauty, body and fragrance, and hair and nails. Choosing categories first shortens your route.
Consultations Are for Business Goals
The ODM Connector and export consultations suit people preparing a brand launch or exports. If you are only browsing, focus on exhibits and seminars. English support may be limited, so bring a translation app.

✍️ Editor’s Note
As a traveler, I would easily miss that registration closes the day before the show. I would finish registration first, then pick just one of the overlapping November 6 seminars to match my goals.
