A new challenge that started as an independent VIABLE seller.
While continuing to take on new challenges, I began working as an independent seller for VIABLE through network marketing.
If vibe coding is a challenge I'm building "alone," beauty art is a challenge I'm building "together with people." How it started and what I'm doing now — I'll fill this page in gradually.
VIABLE Co., Ltd. is a cosmetics and health-functional-food manufacturer and distributor founded in 2011, headquartered in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. It runs its own brands — including Celvia (skincare), Scalpia (hair care), and Misolomune (health functional foods) — and is registered with Korea's Fair Trade Commission as a multi-level (network) marketing company. A recently published industry ranking placed it among the top 10 domestic multi-level marketing companies by revenue.
Network marketing is often pitched as "anyone who signs up can make money" — I don't want to describe it that way. Here is VIABLE's own 2025 sponsorship-commission (referral/sales commission) payout disclosure, shown as published.

This isn't unique to VIABLE, by the way. Korea's Fair Trade Commission's own 2023 industry-wide statistics show that 82.6% of all multi-level-marketing sellers nationwide received no commission whatsoever — this is a structural feature of the business model itself, not something specific to one company.
I do this because I like the products, and I'm active as both a consumer and an independent seller. Whether to approach it "as a business" is a decision each person should make after looking at these numbers, so rather than only highlighting the upside, I'm leaving these figures here as they are.
Photos and videos of treatments done in person will be added to this space over time.
