History
Olive Young's first store opened in 1999 in Sinsa. In 2002, the company established a joint venture with Dairy Farm International part of the Jardine Matheson Group. The joint venture was terminated in 2008, when Olive Young acquired the entirety of CJ company shares on the market.

The company started importing organic cosmetics from Juice Beauty, a popular US cosmetics brand, in 2009. It released CJ ONE, an integrated membership service for CJ Systems, in 2010.

In December 2014, Olive Young merged with CJ Systems and changed its name to CJ Olive Networks Co., Ltd. It introduced the electronic shelf labeling system to its stores in 2018.

Olive Young launched the Global Mall in 2019 to realize a new brand message called "Global Lifestyle Platform to Propose Healthy Beauty." This can be seen as a leader in 'K-Life Style'.
