About Minjun Park

Minjun Park follows retail technology, payments and e-commerce platforms across North Asia, with a special interest in AI-driven merchandising. He reports on how Korean, Japanese and Chinese retailers are rebuilding their tech stacks around data, personalisation and unified commerce. Minjun spent five years covering fintech and enterprise software in Seoul before moving into retail, and still writes on the intersection of payments, super-apps and shopping. At RetailNews.asia he tracks Coupang, Rakuten, Kakao, JD.com and the growing wave of AI-native commerce startups across the region. He is particularly interested in how physical stores are being wired up with computer vision, RFID and generative AI tools for staff and shoppers. Minjun frequently interviews CTOs and product leaders, and translates dense technical announcements into what they mean for merchants and brands. He welcomes tips on retail media networks, headless commerce and AI pilots that are actually moving the needle.
