Comment: One other problem: The Korean-language sources should use Korean-language text rather than the author's translation. The page creator's translation of the headlines may not be fully accurate and readers should be able to rely on the original language of the text. Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:00, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Specifically, the sources appear to be WP:ORGTRIV and do not demonstrate WP:SIGCOV of this company to pass WP:NCORP. Dclemens1971 (talk) 12:58, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
Kurly Inc. is a South Korean online grocery retailer. It was founded in 2015 by entrepreneur Seulah Kim, who launched the company's flagship service, Market Kurly. The company is known for pioneering next-morning delivery in South Korea, a service referred to as "Saetbyeol Delivery" (새벽배송, literally, "morning star delivery"). This service guarantees delivery of fresh produce such as vegetables and fruits by 7 a.m. the following morning for orders placed before 11 p.m.
Kurly operates a full cold-chain logistics system that maintains a consistent temperature from product intake to final delivery, which is relatively rare in the South Korean market.[1]
Kurly’s business growth has attracted significant investor attention. In 2019, the company raised 135 billion KRW in Series D funding, earning it recognition as a "pre-unicorn" startup in South Korea.[2]
In May 2024, Kurly achieved its first quarterly operating profit, reporting 525.7 million KRW in operating income, which was attributed to reduced transportation costs and improved cost structures.[3]
In December 2024, the company launched a new service allowing third-party vendors to sell luxury goods through the platform.[4]
