Dr. Oregonin Inc., Korean Natural Products specialist, accelerates Overseas Expansion with Entry into U.S. H-Mart and BCS International following Home Shopping Sell- Out Record
SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dr. Oregonin Inc., a venture founded by a professor from Kangwon National University—one of Korea’s top national universities—has accelerated its global growth by entering both H-MART, the largest Asian retail chain in the U.S., and BCS International Co., a major specialty distributor on the East Coast.
Dr. Oregonin
H-MART is one of the largest Asian retail chains in the United States, operating a vast network that serves a wide range of Asian consumers. BCS International Co., based in New York with a 37-year history, supplies a broad range of consumer goods and food products to approximately 3,000 supermarkets, convenience stores, and specialty shops. Through its expansion into these channels, Dr. Oregonin Inc. is broadening its U.S. distribution network for Functional cosmetics and health supplements.
Dr. Oregonin Inc. is a nature-friendly R&D company focused on developing natural resources.
As a leading manufacturer specializing in natural products, the company is dedicated to providing innovative and effective products in the wellness and beauty sectors
Professor Sun-Eun Choi, CEO of Dr. Oregonin Inc. and a faculty member in the Department of Forest Biomaterials Engineering at Kangwon National University, has dedicated more than 20 years to developing anti-aging functional biomaterials from native Korean forest resources. These technologies and products supported by scientific research have been successfully brought to market as a variety of functional products both domestically and internationally. Leveraging its expertise as a health functional food and cosmetics manufacturer, Dr. Oregonin Inc. delivers products developed through extensive, nature-based research to consumers worldwide.
In particular, the company’s flagship product, Taxifolin Shampoo (also known as Azalea Shampoo), has recently attracted strong consumers’ interest and positive market feedback. Commonly called the “Jang Min-ho Shampoo,” it achieved consecutive sell-outs on Gongyoung Home Shopping.
CEO Sun-Eun Choi is a distinguished researcher in natural products, recognized both in Korea and internationally. After joining the Graduate School of Pharmacy at Chung-Ang University as the top graduated student admitted to both medical and pharmacy school, he has dedicated over 20 years to studying functional biomaterials and single compounds from native Korean natural resources.
As a result, Dr. Oregonin Inc. has gained strong consumers’ trust on their functional products with natural ingredients that have been thoroughly studied for many years himself and admitted the efficacy through scientific experiment and human clinical test in herbal medicine. This credibility has established the company as a provider of genuine “natural products such as natural health supplement and natural cosmetics based on natural resources.
In the U.S. market, premium health supplements like Orethistle Platinum including organic milk thistle, Ore-nalthin Pro, and Muscle Power All cumin are being launched in drugstores through BCS International Co.’s distribution network, marking a rare instance where both functional cosmetics and dietary supplements successfully enter the market together.
A company, representative stated, “This achievement is the result of long-term research utilizing tree resources from the pristine forests of Gangwon Province, combined with extensive support and investment from the Korea Forest Service R&D, the Ministry of SMEs and Startups’ TIPS R&D program, the Ministry of Science and ICT, the Korea Technology Finance Corporation, the Korea SMEs and Startups Agency, the Korea Agricultural Technology Promotion Agency, Gangwon Technopark, the Small Enterprise and Market Service, and the Chuncheon Innopolis program, among others.” The company highlighted that such broad government and institutional support was enabled by the exceptional skills of Professor Sun-Eun Choi, who has been widely recognized for his expertise. In fact, his accomplishments were officially acknowledged last year when he received simultaneous Ministerial Commendations from both the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.
Dr. Oregonin Inc. is now gaining recognition across major global distribution channels, including the United States, and is also preparing to enter Olive Young, Korea’s largest health and beauty platform. The company further stated, “This entry into the U.S. market represents an important opportunity to expand touchpoints with both domestic and international customers, and we are committed to contributing to solutions for modern health concerns such as hair loss, muscle decline, and oral health.
Xinhua Silk Road: Discover a vibrant Rizhao on canvas
BEIJING, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — When the same scenes of popular TV series “This Thriving Land” are painted on canvases, eastern China’s coastal city Rizhao is promising a fascinating blend of art and cultural tourism.
Since September 3, 100-plus exquisite oil paintings created by Chinese oil painting masters have been on display in Rizhao Art Museum, exhibiting the same views as those in “This Thriving Land” that have captured hearts of many.
Indigenous old houses, fishing boats, the vast field at the hinterland of Yimeng mountainous region and the broad beaches of Rizhao have all been represented on canvases during the local leg of Chinese oil painting masters’ thematic paintings exhibition.
Walking into the exhibition hall of Rizhao Art Museum, visitors can spot the colorful and lifelike works of nearly 100 reputed Chinese oil painters, who not only paid tribute to the unfading “Yimeng Spirit” with their brushes, but initiated “talks” between art and land, history and present.
For instance, paintings depicting the unfading “Red Sister” spirit, the endless blue at seaside of Rizhao, sailboats at village wharves, and modern port in the new era are all there in the museum, created by Chinese oil painting artists of different ages.
While touring the city, Wang Tieniu, professor with Academy of Arts & Design of Tsinghua University said that the city brims with modernity and potential and the crowds of tourists at seaside scenic areas impressed him much.
For years, the Chinese oil painting masters’ thematic paintings exhibition has become an influential event to create artistic works grounded in people and life under organization of Art Development Center of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Central Academy of Fine Arts, Shandong Federation of Literary and Art Circles and Shandong Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism.
When these artists wandered through the city, many local citizens and tourists stumbled upon their paintings, captivated deeply by the city-wide “moving art gallery” where photographers, TV series makers and writers have gathered to translate local cultural hallmarks into scenarios that can be felt and experienced.

Sharing Wisdom of World Rivers Civilization, 2025 Yangtze River Civilization Forum Opens
CHONGQING, China, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from iChongqing:
On September 17, the 2025 Yangtze River Civilization Forum was successfully convened in Chongqing. Centered around the theme “Bridging Rivers and Seas, Sharing Wisdom of Civilizations,” the forum gathered renowned experts and scholars from both China and abroad. Attendees engaged in in-depth discussions focusing on the preservation and inheritance of Yangtze River civilization, high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and mutual learning among the world’s major river civilizations. The forum served as a platform to inspire new ideas, consolidate actionable solutions, and promote joint efforts in cultural heritage protection and sustainable development.
Caption: The Scholars, from China, French, Egypt, UK, Brazil and Pakistan delivered speeches on world rivers’ civilizations on the forum.
During the main forum session, eight experts delivered insightful speeches addressing key topics including the transition from industrial to ecological civilization driven by new quality productive forces, the historical brilliance of the Yangtze River civilization, and the impact of civilizational exchanges on early forms of statehood. The speakers emphasized cultural continuity, enhanced dialogue between civilizations, and explored pathways to boost high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt and increase exchanges among global river civilizations.
A rich lineup of side events was organized alongside the main forum, including the 2025 Longgupo Site Academic Seminar, the World Great Rivers Concert, an intangible cultural heritage exchange and exhibition from the Yangtze River Basin, the special exhibition “From Dunhuang to Dazu,” a dazzling drone performance titled “New Rhythm of Chongqing,” and a series of cultural exploration activities along the Yangtze River.
Chongqing launched the first Yangtze River Civilization Forum in 2023. The following year, with the approval of the central government, the forum was elevated to a permanent provincial-ministerial level event, becoming the only forum of its kind dedicated to civilizations and cultures of the Yangtze River Basin. The first two sessions attracted over 200 experts from leading academic and cultural institutions across the nation. Many of the proposed measures concerning the Yangtze River National Cultural Park construction and cultural productions have been translated into concrete policies.
Building on the success of its previous sessions, the forum has grown into a high-level academic event with national influence, marked by “central-local coordination and regional collaboration.” This year’s edition is further distinguished by its international expansion, high-caliber participants, and a more diverse array of activities.
Singapore residents seek purpose, not just rest, but many unprepared for the journey: AIA Live Better Study
AIA Live Better Study highlights a critical gap between retirement aspirations and readiness, with social connections emerging as an unsung hero for a fulfilling later life.
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 September 2025 – AIA Singapore today announced findings from the eighth edition of the AIA Live Better Study, which reflects the evolution of mindsets where retirement in Singapore is being perceived as a new chapter of reinvention and purpose. This aligns with the government’s ongoing emphasis on active ageing and empowering Singaporeans to lead fulfilling lives well into their golden years, as recently highlighted in the National Day Rally 2025[1].
However, a significant disconnect exists between these evolving aspirations and the practical steps Singapore residents are taking to prepare, according to the latest findings. The study reveals a slight dip in overall holistic wellness (from 61.5% to 60.3%) compared to last year, highlighting persistent challenges for Singapore residents across mental, social, financial, and physical well-being. This gap underscores the urgent need for greater support and education, a sentiment that resonates with Singapore’s broader efforts to strengthen social safety nets and enhance community resilience.
Conducted in May 2025, the AIA Live Better Study[2] continues to investigate the current state of wellness and goal-setting behaviours across physical, financial, mental, social, and spiritual aspects of Singapore residents. This is set against the backdrop of significant uncertainties in the global economy in 2025[3] as consumers navigate these challenging times.
The traditional view of retirement as a period of passive rest is rapidly evolving, aligning with the national call for seniors to remain engaged and contribute meaningfully,” said Irma Hadikusuma, Chief Marketing and Healthcare Officer, AIA Singapore. “Singapore residents are increasingly envisioning a purposeful and active post-career life, yet our study reveals many are not adequately preparing for this new reality. This highlights critical areas where more support and education are needed – particularly around financial readiness, physical health, and crucially, the often-overlooked power of social connections – all vital pillars for the holistic well-being the government also champions.”
Retirement in Singapore: Purpose over leisure
While consumers envision retirement as a period to enjoy, only 1 in 2 (47%) feel optimistic about achieving their desired lifestyles. A striking insight is the motivation for post-retirement work:
- 1 in 2 (55%) Singapore residents plan to work upon retirement (part-time, full-time, or starting a business).
- Less than 3 in 10 (28%) are doing it purely for financial reasons.
- 27% seek a sense of purpose, 26% aim to cure boredom, and 18% desire to try something new.
This signals that retirement is increasingly being seen as a phase for personal growth and continued contribution, echoing the government’s vision of an active and contributing senior population, and not just a cessation of work.
Financial and physical health are the cornerstones of a happy retirement
Unsurprisingly, financial concerns remain a major pain point:
- Only 1 in 2 (50%) Singapore residents claim to be financially stable, with those in their 40s expressing the most negativity towards retirement (29% negative outlook).
- Key worries include managing cost of living (62%) and healthcare expenses (54%).
- Physical wellness is also paramount, with 46% ranking it as the #1 factor for a happy retirement – a finding that underscores the government’s focus on preventative health and robust healthcare infrastructure for an ageing population.
- However, 2 in 5 (40%) foresee spending time managing healthcare conditions, particularly among young seniors[4] (45%).
These findings reinforce the importance of the government’s enhancements[5] early this year to healthcare and long-term care schemes such as MediSave and CHAS to address the needs of the ageing population and to ensure accessible, affordable healthcare for all.
Social wellness: The unsung hero of a fulfilling retirement
Beyond financial and physical health, the study illuminates the critical, yet often unaddressed, role of social wellness:
- A happy retirement is strongly linked to spending time with family (61%) and friends (41%).
- However, only 2 in 5 (37%) have thought about social wellness and taking steps to prepare for it
- Marital status plays a significant role: More married individuals (53%) have a positive outlook towards retirement than their single counterparts (36%), suggesting the inherent support families provide.
- Single individuals face unique challenges, expressing greater worry about lack of caregiving arrangements (34% vs. 23% married), becoming isolated (29% vs. 20% married), and cognitive decline (44% vs. 35% married). This leads them to plan more actively for part-time work, social activities, and community engagement in their retirement years to maintain independence and connection.
The findings highlight that social connections are a fundamental pillar of a fulfilling retirement, echoing the government’s recent unveiling of Age Well Neighbourhoods[6] and continued emphasis on community and social infrastructure as key components of holistic well-being for seniors. This is a powerful insight for individuals, families, and companies to consider as we develop holistic solutions for the future, ensuring our offerings align with the evolving needs of an ageing society.
More support needed for transition period to retirement
While majority (2 in 3 (70%)) of Singapore residents have started planning for various aspects of retirement, a significant portion remains unprepared across crucial areas:
- 21% have not thought about how to maintain social wellness during retirement years.
- 20% have not considered the possibility of being by themselves (without spouse and children).
- 17% have not thought about long-term care.
- 14% have not considered insurance coverage for retirement.
The study highlights the urgent need for more education and support to help Singapore residents transition into this new phase of life, especially for single individuals and those aged 40-49, who show the most negative outlook and financial vulnerability. These insights indicate the critical need for robust community support networks and social infrastructure, aligning with the government’s emphasis on fostering a more caring and inclusive society.

Growing in Southeast Asia: Messe Frankfurt partners with GIAMM on Automechanika Jakarta debuting in 2026
Automechanika Jakarta
Nusantara International Convention Exhibition (NICE), 24 – 27 September 2026
JAKARTA, Indonesia, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — During today’s press conference, Messe Frankfurt announced the expansion of the Automechanika trade fair brand in Southeast Asia, highlighting Indonesia’s advantages as an emerging economy with a robust automotive industry, the largest in Southeast Asia.[1] With a Cooperation Agreement signed between Messe Frankfurt and the Indonesian Automotive Parts & Components Industries Association (GIAMM) to organise the fair, the partnership leverages a combination of international and local resources, networks and expertise to advance the sector. Scheduled from 24 to 27 September 2026 at Jakarta’s all-new Nusantara International Convention Exhibition (NICE), this inaugural event underscores the company’s commitment to building trade platforms in high potential growth markets. The show expects to feature 350 exhibitors across 15,000 sqm of exhibition space.
Cooperation Agreement signing between Messe Frankfurt and the Indonesian Automotive Parts & Components Industries Association (GIAMM). Witnessed by representatives (left to right) from Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises of the Republic of Indonesia, Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia, and Indonesian Automotive Parts & Components Industries Association (GIAMM).
“Messe Frankfurt’s presence in Southeast Asia continues to expand in efforts to support new trade routes burgeoning across the region. In this regard, Automechanika Jakarta is an important addition to the company’s Mobility & Logistics portfolio. Indonesia has strong potential, especially within the automotive supply chain; shifts in investment towards the country’s manufacturing and logistics sectors emphasise its significance in the global supply chain”, commented Mr Stephan Buurma, Member of the Board of the Management, Messe Frankfurt Group. He added: “We look forward to working alongside GIAMM and utilising their local expertise to further develop international trade in the region while uniting the Indonesian automotive market.”
The company organises around 40 trade fairs serving the Mobility & Logistics sector. Automechanika Jakarta represents the company’s second entry into Indonesia, following the successful launch of Asiabike Jakarta in 2023, as well as the achievements of other regional Automechanika shows in Kuala Lumpur, Ho Chi Minh City, and Shanghai. While Indonesian companies have had an active presence in Messe Frankfurt’s 14 Automechanika brand events, this new addition aims to establish a prominent gateway into the country, opening opportunities for international trade, industry development, and information exchange to support the growth and advancement of the budding regional automotive supply chain.
Mr Hamdhani Dzulkarnaen Salim, Chairman of GIAMM, explained why the country is a prime location for such activities: “Indonesia is well-positioned to become a significant player in the global automotive supply chain over the coming years. As an emerging economy with government incentives supporting industry transformation and bolstering vehicle sales, this is a country full of opportunities. The establishment of Automechanika Jakarta is crucial in this sense, providing a much-needed platform to converge domestic and overseas markets. Sharing Messe Frankfurt’s vision, we aim to foster local industry growth through this event by exposing domestic companies to best practices and valuable networks.”
A Cooperation Agreement signed between Messe Frankfurt and GIAMM was witnessed by representatives from the Ministry of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia and the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises of the Republic of Indonesia. Each ministry has expressed a strong endorsement of the fair, demonstrating their commitment to fostering the growth of domestic enterprises, trade, and industry transformation, which the fair will significantly contribute to.
Strong trade position makes way for a bright future in Indonesia
Indonesia has matured into a robust international trading partner by engaging in numerous trade agreements and playing a key role in regional partnerships. This status is further solidified by the expected announcement of the EU-Indonesia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) this month, which is poised to open-up trade and relationships with the European Union, creating opportunities for the development of the automotive industry.
The sector has generated international interest thanks to government incentives and an emerging middle class with increased purchasing power, among other factors. It is already the largest automotive market in Southeast Asia, with car sales projected to reach 900,000 units and motorcycle sales expected between 6.4 and 6.7 million units in 2025 according to the Association of Indonesia Automotive Industry (GAIKINDO) and the Association of Indonesian Motorcycle Industry (AISI) respectively.[2] Despite its recent rise as a global player, the country is already well established regionally, serving as a key Complete Built-Up (CBU) vehicle exporter, delivering more than 472,000 vehicles to over 100 countries under various major automotive OEMs in 2024.[3] The fair will present opportunities for international players to tap into this prosperous local market, and for domestic companies to make global connections for trade.
Automechanika Jakarta to engage all automotive players
Automechanika Jakarta engages participants from the entire automotive supply chain, including parts and components, electrics and electronics, accessories and customising, diagnostics and repair, digital solutions and services, tyres and wheels, body and paint, motorcycles, as well as automotive manufacturing and automation. In this context of growth, innovation, and promoting local industry development, the exhibition aims to empower, connect and offer interactive experiences to its array of participants.
To illustrate, fringe events are set to encourage networking and knowledge exchange aligned with the industry’s direction like the Automotive Mobility Solutions Conference and the Supply Chain Collaboration Forum. Skills development will also be exemplified through the Tech & Skills Workshop with a range of targeted training exercises. Further to this, community engagement and celebrating automotive culture will be a focus of autoFEST@Jakarta, with a concert, drifting, and a car audio and modification competition, creating a rewarding experience for the entire automotive value chain, from OEMs to end-users.
In addition, the co-located Drive Expo Jakarta will showcase new car models in passenger, commercial vehicle and motorcycle sectors that are shaping Indonesia’s automotive landscape.
Automechanika Jakarta is organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd and Indonesian Automotive Parts & Components Industries Association (GIAMM). For more information, please email the organisers at autoasia@hongkong.messefrankfurt.com.
