F&F Opens Gangnam Era... Chairman Changsoo Kim: "Responding to Uncertain Future in New Headquarters"

14 Floors Above Ground, 5 Basement Levels
A Global Expansion Hub for MLB, Discovery, and More

On April 28, F&F announced that it has relocated its headquarters to a new building on Teheran-ro in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. With the move to the new headquarters, the company expressed its determination to accelerate the global expansion of its key brands, including MLB and Discovery Expedition.

The new headquarters consists of 14 floors above ground and 5 basement levels. By bringing together previously dispersed business divisions into one location, F&F expects to facilitate smoother communication between divisions and enhance overall business synergy.

Various infrastructure improvements have also been made to provide an environment that maximizes the capabilities of employees. The in-house cafeteria, offering healthy meal options, and the fitness center support the well-being of employees. Most importantly, the building's proximity to major subway stations in Gangnam reduces commuting time and effort. Additionally, the more spacious and comfortable work environment, along with meeting rooms and lounge facilities, is expected to play a significant role in fostering active communication and enhancing creative ideas among team members.

On April 14, Chairman Changsoo Kim held an opening ceremony with employees to mark the move into the new headquarters. On that day, Kim said, "When we moved into the Yeoksam-dong headquarters in 2008, it was a time of crisis as the global economy was shaken by the Lehman Brothers incident, but our company overcame the crisis by generating great ideas in a great building. This year, the global economy is once again fluctuating and the future is becoming uncertain, but I believe our company will actively respond to this era of major change and become a company with even greater leadership and influence."

Kim continued, "While the Yeoksam headquarters focused on style and served as the foundation for our growth into a global fashion company, this Gangnam headquarters emphasizes the active lifestyle of our employees. In this new workspace, let's ride the wave of this great change and embark on a faster and more remarkable journey together."

Meanwhile, in addition to MLB and Discovery Expedition, F&F also operates brands such as Duvetica and Sergio Tacchini.
