Hansae Yes24 Group has announced a goal to achieve consolidated revenue of 6 trillion won by 2032. The company plans to enhance the competitiveness of its subsidiaries through expanded overseas production and AI-based services, while also strengthening shareholder returns through a medium- to long-term dividend policy.
On October 28, Hansae Yes24 Group held its '2026 Global Investor Relations (IR)' event in Ho Chi Minh City, where it unveiled its medium- to long-term growth strategies and business plans for each subsidiary. The event was attended by Vice Chairman Kim Seok-hwan of Hansae Yes24 Holdings, Vice Chairman Kim Ik-hwan of Hansae Industrial, CEO Lee Wook-sang of Dong-A Publishing, CEO Choi Se-ra of Yes24, and President Sung Nak-gon of Hansae Mobility.
Vice Chairman Kim stated, "We aim to achieve consolidated revenue of 6 trillion won by 2032, based on our businesses in fashion, culture, education, and mobility." The group has established sales, production, and research and development bases across four regions—Asia, the Americas, Central and South America, and Europe—in 16 countries, centered around its headquarters in South Korea.
For the first half of this year, Hansae Yes24 Holdings reported consolidated revenue of 1.77 trillion won, a 6.9% increase from the same period last year. Operating profit rose to 61.6 billion won, up 40.3 billion won year-on-year. The company attributed this growth to the expansion of high-value-added products at Hansae Industrial, the turnaround to profitability at Hansae Mobility, and the impact of new publications at Dong-A Publishing.
The company has also reaffirmed its commitment to shareholder returns. Hansae Yes24 Holdings plans to distribute more than 40% of its affiliate dividend income from 2026 to 2028 and maintain a minimum dividend of 500 won per share.
Hansae Industrial has outlined four key growth strategies: expanding its global research and development network, enhancing AI and digital capabilities, completing vertical integration, and strengthening its product categories. The company emphasized the importance of vertical integration to enhance its global supply chain competitiveness.
Vice Chairman Kim Ik-hwan noted, "By launching the Guatemala project in the fourth quarter of this year, we will complete vertical integration across the entire process from yarn, knitting, dyeing, processing, to sewing. This will strengthen our global supply chain responsiveness and enhance our cost competitiveness, securing differentiated infrastructure capabilities." Currently, the dyeing factory is about 96% complete, and the yarn factory is nearing completion at just over 90%.
Hansae Industrial is also expanding its product range to include activewear. For the first half of this year, its revenue reached 1.01 trillion won, a 9.2% increase from the previous year, with an operating profit of 46.5 billion won. The company plans to increase its minimum dividend to 600 won per share from 2026 to 2028.
Dong-A Publishing aims to strengthen its leadership in the textbook market, develop leading brands in reference materials, and accelerate digital transformation. CEO Lee Wook-sang expects educational content revenue to exceed 120 billion won this year. The company plans to focus on nurturing brands like 'Ppajak,' which has sold 4 million copies, and 'High Top,' which has sold 5 million copies.
Yes24 plans to enhance its AI recommendation and delivery services based on its 24 million members and accumulated data assets. The projected annual revenue for this year is around 620 billion won. The smart logistics center set to open in the second half of the year aims to handle over 30 million logistics operations annually.
Hansae Mobility has outlined its growth strategy to strengthen technological competitiveness and expand its overseas customer base. For the first half of this year, its revenue increased by 13.4% year-on-year to 254.4 billion won. The company is enhancing its localization strategy through the expansion of its Chesterfield plant in North America and the establishment of a subsidiary in Uzbekistan, where it has also completed a local factory. It is also considering entering the robotics business.
On October 13, Hansae Mobility inaugurated its wholly-owned subsidiary Turan's factory in Fergana, Uzbekistan. The factory is set to assemble and supply braking and steering components for local production models Damas, Labo, and Cobalt at an annual scale of 310,000 units.
Hansae Yes24 Holdings, established in 2009, is a holding company with major subsidiaries including Hansae Industrial in the clothing manufacturing sector, Hansae MK in brand retail, Yes24 and Dong-A Publishing in cultural content and publishing, and Hansae Mobility in the mobility sector.
