History
The company originated in the 1940s, when Yun Dok-jeong began selling camellia oils as a hair treatment in the village of Kaesong.[2] Her second son, Suh Sung-whan, took over the business in 1945, naming it "태평양 (taepyeong-yang)".[2]
Suh handed the company over to his second son Suh Kyung-bae in 1997;[2] its success has made him the second-richest man in Korea as of 2016.[3]
