The initiative, spearheaded by entrepreneur Sarah Chung Park and powered by established beauty distributor Landing International, will introduce eight Korean brands to U.S. consumers. They include Chasin' Rabbits, I'm From, Mixsoon, Neogen, Rom&nd, Some By Mi, Sungboon Editor, and Unleashia.
"We are excited to partner with K-Beauty World to meet the rapidly growing U.S. demand for accessibility in Korean beauty innovation," said Kaitlin Rinehart, vice president of merchandising, Ulta Beauty.
"This exclusive partnership brings time-honored, high-performing products, that have been long trusted by Korean consumers, to a broader audience, making it easier than ever for beauty lovers across the country to experience the power of K-Beauty. While we have offered many K-Beauty brands within our skincare assortment for some time now, we are thrilled to enter this next phase of growth and expansion with even more brands to discover across categories and price points.'
To introduce the platform to American shoppers, K-Beauty World launched the K-Beauty Mart, a travelling immersive pop-up inspired by Korea's vibrant convenience store culture. The activation has already made stops at Westfield Century City in Los Angeles, South by Southwest, RevolveFest at Coachella, and Bryant Park in New York City. Looking ahead, it will stop at Lollapalooza in Chicago this July, with more activations to follow.
"K-Beauty World is about more than just what's new from Korea – it's about what's next in beauty for all ages, tones, and budgets," said Chung Park.
"Ulta Beauty, with its unparalleled reach, commitment to inclusivity, and passion for innovation, is the perfect partner to bring this vision to life. Together, we're introducing U.S. consumers to a new era of Korean beauty – one that blends cultural storytelling with cutting-edge formulations and truly accessible retail experiences."

After Stephen Colbert's show is canceled, comedians unite against Trump
At a time when many institutions seem inclined to bow to Trump's power, American comedians are trying to resist. Their first target: Stephen Colbert, who mocked Donald Trump night after night on CBS. The US president described him as "a total loser." On July 17, CBS announced it would end The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in May 2026, a program Colbert has hosted since 2015. Paramount, CBS's parent company, cited "financial reasons." Victims of streaming and audiences splintering across platforms and social media, the big networks' satirical shows no longer have the impact they once enjoyed 20 years ago, when Jay Leno or David Letterman orchestrated Americans' late nights. But the financial argument convinced no one. With an average of 2.4 million viewers, Colbert's Late Show leads the ratings for late-night programming. After a rocky start in 2015, he overtook his rivals, thanks especially to a strong anti-Trump stance. Since the billionaire's return to office in January, the show has once again become a pressure valve for the Democratic base, who delight in Colbert's relentless barbs.

Gap and Béis unveil travel collaboration
Gap has partnered with lifestyle brand Béis, founded by actress and entrepreneur Shay Mitchell, on a limited-edition travel collection launching August 1. The collaboration merges Gap's iconic American essentials with Béis's function-forward design ethos, offering a 25-piece capsule of apparel, luggage, and travel bags. The luggage and bags come in a limited-edition blue inspired by Gap's iconic denim, while the apparel is offered in a range of Béis's signature colorways including beige, black and the cult-favorite Berry Pink. Retailing from $8 to $378, highlights include a convertible jumpsuit, a hoodie with a built-in inflatable neck pillow, and Béis's best-selling Carry-On Roller. The collection's Weekender Bag and Travel Backpack are equally tailored for function, offering features like compression panels, wide openings, padded laptop compartments, and separate storage zones. 'Béis is built on functional and accessible design. Partnering with Gap let us bring Béis-ics to more people than ever,' said Mitchell. 'I've been wearing Gap since I was a kid, so designing a collection that allows you to express your personal style while on the go feels like a full circle moment. This line is for anyone who wants to look good, feel good, and travel in style.' The collection launches with a campaign featuring a 75-second film, 'Go Big. Don't Go Home.,' shot by Bjorn Iooss and directed by Andrew B. Myers. The creative vision comes from Mitchell and her partner Matte Babel, who also appear in the video alongside their children, Atlas and Rome. 'As a brand known for iconic essentials, we knew a collection designed to showcase your personal style wherever life takes you would resonate deeply with our customers,' added Mark Breitbard, president and CEO of Gap brand. 'Béis has built a powerful brand with a highly engaged community, driven by Shay's authentic connection to her audience. Gap × Béis delivers a modern take on versatile travel wear, brought to life through a digitally led campaign that reflects the built-in memories of traveling with a family.'
