Origins and history
CHOGONGJIN’s origins lie in MISSHA’s Misa Hanbang skincare world. Originally one of its ranges, it was repositioned as a separate brand in 2022. The official Japanese announcement described changes to bottles, range names and product structure together, giving an existing heritage a distinct identity.
Sosaeng and Geumsul continued two different directions. Sosaeng succeeded the earlier Chogongjin range, retaining its red-ginseng and fermented-collagen focus. Geumsul kept its name while distinguishing itself through other botanical ingredients and a golden visual identity. Korean herbal tradition was interpreted through contemporary formulation.
Sosaeng’s serum, cream and mask in the official 2023 holiday collection illustrate that continuity. The brand’s development is therefore an evolution of accumulated MISSHA experience into clearer range identities, rather than a beginning that erased its origins.
