Ssangbangwool is a South Korean company. It was founded in 1954 as a brothers' merchants' association, and changed its name to Samnam Meriyas in March 1962 and Ssangnyeong Textile Industries in 1963, and then to Ssangbangul in 1977. In 1984, the company listed its shares on the stock exchange. In 1987, the company launched its own brand, Tri, and grew into a manufacturing and distribution company tailored to the Korean market.

In 1995, the company was awarded the 'Top 50 Million Dollar Export Tower', and in 2013, the company successfully developed the world's first knitting technology within 210 threads, which is the only knitting technology in the world. On the other hand, the company's major investment in Muju Resort, where its own Muju Resort is located, in 1997 for the Winter Universiade with the Olympics in mind caused the company to go bankrupt in less than a year,[4] and as of 2016, it has 13 brands including Tri, Heat Up, Cool Solution, and Chaville.

In particular, it has expanded its scope from existing innerwear to introduce 'IN&OUT' wear, and is growing into a fashion company by launching a children's clothing brand with a Nordic sensibility, Littlestally, in 2015, and participated in the management of specialty car manufacturer Kwanglim in 2014, and was selected for sale to NAM Young Vivian in 2019[5]. In addition, as mentioned above, the company invested heavily in Muju Resort, where its Muju Resort is located, in anticipation of the 1997 Winter Universiade, and the company went bankrupt at the end of 1997 due to management trials, including the third son of founder Lee Bong-ning, then vice chairman Lee Yi-seok, who was wanted for a casino gambling case.
