SEOUL -- Amore Pacific, South Korea's top cosmetics maker, has forged a partnership with Naver, the country's top web portal operator, to create synergy by strengthening the cosmetics maker's offline and online distribution channels.

The cosmetics giant said in a statement on Tuesday that the company and Naver will jointly develop new brands and business models using big data, venture into overseas markets and interlink Amore's offline and online distribution channels.

"We will strengthen our digital business capabilities by utilizing Naver's big data and artificial intelligence in the new technology sector," Amore said, adding the cosmetics maker and the web service giant will consistently roll out joint projects.
