Leferi was founded in 2013 by Choi In-seok and is described as Korea's first beauty MCN. It began in 2014 by educating and nurturing YouTube beauty creators and now claims the largest creator group through its influencer training system. The company operates a beauty digital online marketing agency, influencer-linked media-commerce, and co-develops cosmetics under the prosumer brand 'Shurepi' (슈레피). Leferi reported last-year revenue exceeding ₩10 billion (100억원) and an operating profit of ₩1.4 billion (14억원), marking a profitable turnaround. The company says it will use the new backing to further develop the influencer industry and accelerate its market leadership.
