SEOUL, June 21 (AJP) - The younger daughter of Suh Kyung-bae, chairman of South Korea's Amorepacific Group, married on Sunday, drawing fresh attention to the cosmetics empire's third-generation succession.

Suh Ho-jeong, 30, exchanged vows at 6:30 p.m. at the Shilla Hotel in central Seoul's Jangchung-dong, according to business sources. The groom is an investment and management consultant at a foreign firm who has studied abroad, and the couple were introduced through acquaintances.

The wedding was held behind closed doors, attended only by immediate family and close friends.

Born in 1995, Suh graduated from Cornell University's hotel administration program before joining Osulloc, a tea-and-lifestyle affiliate of the group, as an entry-level employee last year.

She now works in product development and marketing on the brand's PD team.

Long kept out of the corporate spotlight, Suh has emerged as a figure of interest since her Osulloc debut and a series of share gifts. Her father transferred Amorepacific Holdings stock to her in 2021 and 2023, then handed over 190,000 Amorepacific shares worth about 30 billion won ($19.63 million) in late February to help cover her gift-tax bill.

The group's third generation comprises Suh and her elder sister, Suh Min-jeong, who joined Amorepacific in 2017 but has been on extended leave since 2023, leaving the eventual succession picture unsettled.
