"388% Quantum Jump in Revenue" Sodomall Surpasses 100 Billion Won in Corporate Value Just a Year and a Half After Founding

'Sodomall' is a new concept offline retail platform that offers products in the form of group purchases utilizing KakaoTalk open chat rooms under the slogan 'Consumers at Wholesale Prices'. It features a model where customers reserve the quantity they need and pick it up directly from their local neighborhood store, eliminating inventory burdens for both the headquarters and store owners while significantly reducing middle distribution margins. Thanks to this overwhelming price competitiveness and word-of-mouth, it has surpassed 450 stores nationwide just one year after opening its first store, continuing an unprecedentedly rapid growth in the retail industry.

388% Vertical Surge in Revenue... A Smart Distribution Network Expansion Strategy Focused on Product Sales

The most prominent aspect is its explosive top-line growth. According to its financial statements, the revenue, which was 11.2 billion won in 2024, jumped to 54.7 billion won in 2025, recording a staggering 388% explosive growth rate. During the same period, operating profit also surged more than three times, from about 800 million won to 2.88 billion won. This completely exceeds the initial growth speed of typical emerging retail companies, demonstrating that it has not only successfully settled in the market but also entered a stage where it is beginning to monopolize market share within the distribution network.

Underlying this hyper-growth is a business development strategy thoroughly centered on 'product sales'. Looking at the total revenue proportion in 2025, product sales drove more than 90% of total revenue at 50.3 billion won. This means that rather than being tied down to building its own private brand (PB) manufacturing lines, which requires massive capital injections, the strategy of sourcing proven excellent products and rapidly increasing its corporate scale through the expansion of the agency distribution network has hit the mark.

Achieving 100 Billion Won in Corporate Value Just 1 Year and 8 Months After Founding

The capital market also expressed confidence in Sodomall's explosive potential. Following the attraction of approximately 3 billion won in investment throughout 2025, from late 2025 to early 2026, it successfully attracted successive investments from Penture Invest, Michigan Venture Capital, BNK Investment & Securities, and others, being recognized for a corporate value of over 100 billion won. This is an exceptional achievement reached just 1 year and 8 months after its founding.

Looking deeply into the financial flows, Sodomall's explosive power becomes even clearer. Total assets surged more than fivefold from the 3.5 billion won range in 2024 to the 19 billion won range in 2025, fundamentally changing the company's scale. In particular, its capital efficiency is outstanding, raising investments at the right time and immediately converting those funds into distribution network expansion and revenue growth. Most notably, the strong cost-control power brought about by the pre-order group purchasing system is worth paying attention to. Despite the massive revenue scale of 54.7 billion won in 2025, it controlled the ending product inventory at a low level of about 3.5 billion won, structurally solving the 'inventory risk', which is the retail industry's biggest challenge. This solid financial soundness will serve as a strong foundation for future aggressive expansion.

Currently, not satisfied with mere top-line expansion, Sodomall is introducing its own AI-based order collection program to advance demand forecasting and logistics operations, and is even innovating the franchise payment ecosystem through partnerships with Toss Payments and others. Considering the overwhelmingly proven growth elasticity financially and the aggressive moves utilizing investment funds, it is evaluated to have the strong momentum not only to achieve the goal of "opening its 1,000th store" but also to smoothly usher in the era of 100 billion won in revenue in the upcoming year 2026.
