Breaking Beauty Chains: Fama's Unbelievable Journey to K-Beauty Rockstar
November 30th, 2023

Fama Ndiaye turned a love for Korean culture into a game-changing adventure in the beauty industry. Picture kicking off with a love for Asian languages, diving headfirst into Korea, and ending up on a wild ride that completely shakes up your career plans!

Well that’s exactly what she did. In 2016, what started as a brief cultural venture became a transformative experience. Enchanted by Korea's vibrant beauty and fashion, she recognized an untapped goldmine in K-beauty—a market abundant yet scarcely acknowledged outside its home turf. Determined to make her mark, she decided to return to Paris, save funds, and return to the industry that had ignited her passion.

Her ambition was crystal clear: she aimed to revolutionize the beauty sector. Thus, KWorld Now was born—an initial platform to stay connected with Korean culture. It quickly evolved into a haven for Korean entertainment, spanning music, dramas, and Webtoons during a time when such content was a niche fascination beyond Korea's borders. By pioneering this space, she not only built a dedicated following but also laid the foundation for her future marketing empire with a focus on Korean culture.

The pinnacle of Fama's journey unfolded in 2017 with the creation of AGASKIN. Unlike conventional ventures, her vision for AGASKIN extended beyond content creation. She envisioned a community centered around K-beauty, recognizing an opportunity to amplify the voices of Korean beauty brands globally. Filling a crucial gap, she offered services in content creation, influencer marketing, and concept ideation—resources and expertise that many Korean beauty brands were lacking.

 

Thriving in the fast-paced world of K-beauty, her strategic insight became a game-changer. Realizing the importance of staying ahead in the ever-evolving market, she not only kept track of trends but set them. This proactive approach facilitated the growth of her business and even attracted direct partnership requests from renowned brands. What started as an initiative without a 'footprint' or 'blueprint' has now carved a unique and influential path in the beauty industry.
