Last November, 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗔’s founder and CEO, 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗻 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝗻, was honored with the "𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱", recognizing her leadership and contributions to sustainability and community impact in Korea.

This recognition reflects more than one moment. It represents years of collaboration with partners, volunteers, and organizations working together to 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 and turn surplus into 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 for communities.

✨𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 - 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝟭

Last week, 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗔 opened the first chapter of 𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 with 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝗼𝗻, CEO of .

𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗼 shared her journey across borders: from North Korea, to China, and ultimately to building her life and business as an 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿 in South Korea. Through beauty and the making of lipsticks, her story reminded us that impact often starts with finding your own voice and choosing to use it.

This gathering reflects why 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗔 created this series in the first place: to create space for 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’s stories, lived experiences, and meaningful conversations in Korea not just in theory, but in real rooms, with real people.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the vegan lipstick-making session, listened to 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗼’s story, and contributed to the conversation.�
And a special thank you to 복순도가 Boksoondoga for supporting the evening, and to our partners who helped make this first gathering possible.

Last week,𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗔 volunteers spent the day in Incheon taking part in a yeontan briquette volunteering activity.

What looks like a simple block of coal still plays a critical role in keeping homes warm for many households. Carrying and delivering each 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲 requires sustained physical effort, and the experience was a tangible reminder of how much time, energy, and care go into providing something as basic as heat.

We are grateful to everyone who showed up, supported one another, and contributed through hands-on 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁. It was a collective effort, made possible by volunteers like , , .nell,and many others who took part.

𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗔’s volunteer community now connects over 𝟮𝟲𝟬 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 through our Kakao Open Chat. Alongside activities like yeontan volunteering, we also run recurring initiatives such as our 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, now in their 16th edition, bringing people together through consistent, community-led action.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀?

Last month, 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗔 participated in the𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗻𝗮𝗺 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, engaging with founders, partners, and local stakeholders as we take our first steps toward expanding our presence in Vietnam.

Throughout the roadshow, we exchanged perspectives on 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁, sustainability, and how social initiatives can take shape across different cultural and market contexts. These conversations offered valuable insights that will continue to inform how we approach our work moving forward.

The experience was especially meaningful for us, as Vietnam is also where our CEO, Quinn, has her roots, adding a personal layer to the beginning of this new chapter. During the roadshow, Quinn also had the opportunity to share MONA’s vision in an interview featured on VTV2!

As 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗔 continues to grow across regions, learning directly from local ecosystems and building relationships on the ground remain central to how we think about impact and long-term collaboration.

With thanks to Investy Global, CNTTech, and and for their support and collaboration.

𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗔 is grateful to receive this meaningful end-of-year gift as part of the Underwomen Impact Community, supported jointly by .

Programs like Underwomen matter because they don’t just support founders, they strengthen the ecosystems we work in. For 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗔, this means continuing to build inclusive spaces, community-led initiatives, and impact-driven projects that help us waste less and create more meaningful impact.

This gift, created in collaboration with , resonates deeply with 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗔’s values. Like us, Idden is driven by mindful production, sustainability, and conscious choices, reminding us that small, intentional actions can lead to real change.

We’re thankful to be part of a community that believes in purpose, collaboration, and long-term impact, and that continues to support 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗔’s mission as we grow!
