Since launching its first offline store in Shin-Daebangsamgeori, Seoul, in July 2024, Sodomall has rapidly expanded, securing contracts for approximately 500 branches nationwide. Meanwhile, Glowupiz has been broadening its reach in the content-based commerce sector by collaborating with a diverse range of creators, including Swings, Fitbless, Kkangs_stylist, and Kiwoo_์ค.

Both companies intend to deepen their collaboration across various fields, including the development of joint group-buying products, co-branded initiatives, and integrated content marketing strategies. A key focus will be enabling consumers to not only discover products introduced by creators online but also to experience and purchase them directly at Sodomall's offline stores across the country, thereby offering a unique and comprehensive consumption experience.
