<news1><![CDATA[Backpackr acquired 10x10, an e-commerce design goods platform. 

GS Retail announced it sold the shares of its subsidiary, 10x10, via DART on December 22.

Backpackr purchased 100% of such shares and now holds 80% of 10x10 shares. 

The 2001-established company was acquired by GS Retail in 2013 and became a popular Korean design goods store for women in their 20s and 30s.

The CEO of Backpackr said, “We will create a coalition of small brands against large companies by associating design e-commerce platform, 10x10, with a hand-made goods marketplace, idus, a crowdfunding platform, Tumblbug, and a creator membership community service, Steadio. The coalition will be a foundation for our effort to create a world where people value creativity and sincerity.]]></news1>
