VidCon has tapped Different Millions (hereafter DiMill) as its official K-beauty partner for the event’s 15th anniversary. Under the deal, DiMill will hold exclusive operating rights for VidCon’s K-beauty pavilion. VidCon takes place annually in Anaheim, California, and organizers expect more than 60,000 attendees for this milestone year.

Founded in 2019, DiMill secured 15 billion KRW (about 11.25 million USD) in investment in 2020 from Hyundai Home Shopping and Amorepacific. The company has evolved from a beauty MCN into a beauty-creator IP solutions firm.

The K-beauty pavilion—a modern take on a traditional hanok theme—will span roughly 300 pyeong (about 10,675 sq ft) near the main entrance. By April, organizers plan to select around 30 Korean K-beauty brands to participate. The event runs June 25–27 at the Anaheim Convention Center and will showcase U.S. and Korean beauty creators active on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram.

DiMill CEO Heonju Lee said, "We’ve spent years knocking on the door of the U.S. creator market. VidCon, celebrating its 15th anniversary, wanted to put K-beauty on an official stage. This partnership is the result of our aligned goals."

DiMill intends to use the VidCon K-beauty partnership as a launchpad to create real, practical routes for Korean K-beauty brands to enter the U.S. mainstream market. The company also plans to expand programs that support international growth, leveraging a global creator network to help brands go global.
