  • Former Samsung Group and Samsung Electronics executive who led corporate growth strategy and major global M&A initiatives across the Corporate Strategy Office and DX Division
  • Brings extensive global leadership experience in business strategy, operations, and value creation across robotics (Rainbow Robotics), automotive electronics and audio (Harman), and data center cooling (FläktGroup)
  • To accelerate CLASSYS' global expansion and redefine the medical aesthetics industry through AI-powered next-generation products, technological innovation, and differentiated platform capabilities
  • SEOUL, South Korea, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CLASSYS (KOSDAQ: 214150), a leading global medical aesthetics platform company, announced on July 15 the appointment of Jun-oh Yoon, former Vice President of Samsung Electronics, as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), marking the official launch of the company's next phase of growth toward becoming a global leader in the medical aesthetics industry.

    Jun-oh Yoon joins CLASSYS as CEO with extensive leadership experience in developing growth strategies and future business initiatives at Samsung Group and Samsung Electronics, bringing deep expertise across technology, business, corporate strategy, and operations.

    Over the course of his career at Samsung Electronics in both South Korea and the United States, Yoon held leadership roles spanning software engineering, marketing, and corporate planning. From 2009 to 2018, he played a key role in the Strategy Team of Samsung Group's Corporate Strategy Office, where he developed group-wide business portfolio plans, identified new growth opportunities, and led major M&A initiatives. Most notably, he spearheaded the acquisition, integration, and value creation of Harman—widely regarded as the most successful acquisition in Samsung Electronics' history—and later oversaw growth initiatives and operational management across key portfolio companies, serving on the boards of Rainbow Robotics, Samsung's robotics subsidiary, and FläktGroup, a specialized provider of data center cooling solutions.

    Yoon brings a rare combination of technical expertise, global operating experience, corporate strategy, M&A leadership, and post-merger value creation. Supported by his background as an engineer at Samsung Electronics and his proven ability to translate long-term vision into operational execution, he is well positioned to lead CLASSYS through its next phase of global growth.

    Following its merger with Ilooda, CLASSYS has accelerated its global expansion by broadening its product portfolio, entering the U.S. and China markets, establishing direct operations in Brazil, and transitioning to a direct sales model in Japan. Today, overseas markets account for approximately 67% of the company's total revenue, while global talent represents approximately 33% of its workforce. Moving beyond simply exporting products, CLASSYS plans to expand its local organizations and sales, marketing, and service capabilities worldwide, further scaling its business and reinforcing its position as a leading global player in the rapidly growing medical aesthetics market.

    Under Yoon's leadership, the company will focus on four strategic priorities: accelerating global growth by leveraging its international operating expertise; advancing next-generation products, services, and platform innovation through AI, software, and data integration; optimizing its business portfolio while securing new growth opportunities; and strengthening enterprise-wide management systems to enhance organizational execution.

    In particular, CLASSYS plans to combine its proprietary energy-based medical aesthetics technologies and clinical data with advanced AI, software, and data capabilities to develop first-of-their-kind next-generation products and services that extend well beyond conventional device innovation. Through these initiatives, the company aims to redefine the traditional growth model of the medical aesthetics industry, establish new global benchmarks, and build sustainable competitive advantages across its technologies, products, business model, and customer experience.

    "CLASSYS has already established itself as a highly competitive global company with industry-leading products and a strong international foundation," said Jun-oh Yoon, Chief Executive Officer of CLASSYS. "I look forward to applying the growth strategies and innovation culture I developed at Samsung Electronics to accelerate our global expansion, while unifying our headquarters and international operations under a single operating model to enhance execution, strengthen our technological leadership, and deliver a differentiated customer experience as we embark on our next phase of growth."

    Yoon added, "By combining CLASSYS' strengths in hardware, software, and clinical expertise with cutting-edge AI capabilities, we will deliver breakthrough products, services, and customer experiences that support our vision of becoming the world's leading medical aesthetics platform company by 2030."

    This leadership transition marks a significant milestone as CLASSYS moves beyond its strong growth foundation into its next stage of global expansion. The company has built a highly profitable and resilient recurring revenue model driven by expanding global device installations and growing consumables utilization. With Jun-oh Yoon's unique combination of technical expertise, global strategic leadership, and operational excellence, CLASSYS is well positioned to unlock new growth opportunities, create long-term customer value, and further enhance shareholder value.

CLASSYS Appoints Former Samsung Electronics Vice President Jun-oh Yoon as CEO to Lead Its Next Stage of Global Growth

In time for summer travel, artist Alexandra Pacula brings iconic cityscapes to life in a limited-edition series exclusively for global travel retail

LORETTO, Ky., July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Maker's Mark, the iconic handmade Kentucky bourbon, today announced a global travel retail exclusive series featuring custom, city-inspired labels designed by acclaimed artist Alexandra Pacula. Available for a limited time in select airports, the bespoke Maker's Mark bottles are inspired by destinations including New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Dubai, Delhi, Mumbai, Singapore, Seoul, Sydney and Melbourne, inviting travelers to discover and collect each release throughout their journeys.

"At Maker's Mark, we've always believed that character comes from doing things differently, and this Artist Series – City Edition brings that idea to life by capturing the distinct spirit and creative energy of iconic cities around the world," said Rob Samuels, eighth-generation whisky maker and managing director of Maker's Mark. "Today's travelers are looking for experiences that feel personal and memorable, and we're proud that each beautifully designed bottle is something they can enjoy long after their trip ends."

Drawing on her signature style of painting inspired by long-exposure photography techniques, Pacula captures each city's movement, light and rhythm through layered, expressive compositions. Her process mirrors the craftsmanship behind every bottle of Maker's Mark, with hand-painted details nodding to the brand's iconic red wax seal.

Pacula said: "Maker's Mark has a very intentional approach to craft, and I wanted to mirror that in this body of work. I spent time in each city, immersed in its rhythm and atmosphere, and translated those impressions into expressive visuals that bring each label — and each place — to life."

"Travel retail continues to be a key channel for premium spirits, as consumers increasingly seek exclusive and experience-led purchases during their journey," commented Ashish Sagar, Interim General Manager, Global Travel Retail at Suntory Global Spirits. "With the brand's distinctive craftsmanship, the Maker's Mark Artist Series creates a collectible proposition that truly stands out in airport retail."

The Maker's Mark Artist Series – City Edition will be available beginning in Sydney (SYD), Melbourne (MEL), Singapore (SIN) and Seoul (ICN) airports in July, followed by London (LHR, LGW, STN) and Paris (CDG) in August. The series will continue to roll out in Dubai (DXB), Delhi (DEL), Mumbai (BOM), and in the United States in New York (JFK) and Los Angeles (LAX) in September.

ABOUT MAKER'S MARK

Maker's Mark® is the iconic handmade Kentucky bourbon driven by a vision for better flavor and a better world. In 1953, founders Margie and Bill Samuels, Sr. broke from tradition—burning the family's 170-year-old recipe to create a bold, balanced bourbon made with soft red winter wheat for signature sweetness and creaminess. From the start, the Samuels went to remarkable lengths to craft uncompromisingly delicious bourbon—a perfectly unreasonable spirit that endures today. Every bottle is still hand-dipped in red wax, every barrel rotated by hand and every decision guided by the brand's higher purpose.

Staying true to its founders' vision, Maker's Mark has expanded its portfolio with award-winning, super-premium expressions, including Maker's Mark 46, Cask Strength, and Cellar Aged, as well as Private Selection, the brand's custom barrel program. In 2025, the distillery debuted Star Hill Farm Whisky. Named World's Best Wheat Whisky and the first to earn Estate Whiskey certification, Star Hill Farm Whisky inspired the Maker's Mark Regenerative Alliance, a bold commitment to advance regenerative farming beyond its business.

Maker's Mark is proud to be both B Corp and Regenified Certified – milestones driven by the sustainability leadership at Star Hill Farm, home of the Maker's Mark Distillery, which strives to be the most endearing, culturally rich and environmentally responsible homeplace in the world.

Alexandra Pacula (b. 1979, Poland) is a cityscape and landscape artist, focusing on realism through oil painting. She received her BFA from the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, completing her MFA in painting and drawing at Montclair State University in New Jersey. Pacula is fascinated by light and its transformations. About her painting she says, "My work investigates a world of visual intoxication; it captures moments of enchantment, which are associated with urban nightlife… I recreate the feeling of dizziness and confusion by letting the paint blur and allowing shapes to dissolve. I suggest motion in order to slow down the scene and capture the fleeting moments, which tend to be forgotten."

Represented by Gallery Henoch in New York, Alexandra Pacula's work is in several public and corporate collections, including Harvard Law School, PACE University, and Tohokushinsha Film Corporation in Tokyo. She has frequently exhibited in solo and group exhibitions.
