Subjects are excluded from this study if any 1 or more of the following criteria is met:
For all (Cohort 1\~8):
1. History of allergy to the investigational drug or its components.
2. Individuals who used systemic treatment (including finasteride, oral minoxidil, dutasteride or similar products) that is known to or reasonably believed in the opinion of the Investigator to affect hair growth within the last 3 months prior to dosing.
3. Presence of any visible skin disease, damage, or condition at the application site that, in the investigator's opinion, may jeopardize subject safety or interfere with the assessment of the test site reaction.
4. Clinical history of clinically significant disorders in various systems (including gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, endocrine, hematologic, psychiatric, renal, hepatic, bronchopulmonary, neurologic, immunologic, and lipid metabolism) that may limit the ability to assess the associated adverse events based on Investigational judgement or known or suspected malignancy.
5. Positive blood screen for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or syphilis. Positive blood screen for active infection of hepatitis B or hepatitis C
6. Hospital admission or planned or anticipated major surgical procedure that would interfere with the ability to comply with protocol requirement within 30 days prior to screening.

8. History of prescription drug abuse or illicit drug use within 6 months prior to screening or a positive screen for drugs of abuse.
9. Excessive alcohol consumption (\>14 units per week, 1 unit of alcohol ≈ 360 mL of beer or 45 mL of spirits containing 40% alcohol or 150 mL of wine) within 3 months prior to signing the informed consent form, or a positive breath or urine alcohol test results the day before dosing, or inability to abstain from alcohol during the study.
10. Chronic consumption of excessive tea, coffee, or caffeine-containing beverages (\>8 cups per day, 1 cup = 240 mL) within 6 months before dosing.
11. Consumption of caffeine, alcohol, xanthine, or grapefruit-containing beverages within 48 hours the first dose and stay-on-site period.

15. Use of prescription or over-the-counter medications and herbal supplements (including St John's Wort, herbal teas, and garlic extracts) within 30 days before the first dosing until 2 days after the last dosing (except for paracetamol/acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and hormonal contraceptives).
16. For females of childbearing potential: Unwillingness to use a highly effective contraceptive method (method of birth control which result in a low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, non-hormonal or hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs), sexual abstinence or vasectomized partner) during sexual intercourse with a partner of childbearing potential throughout the study and for 1 month after its completion. Only males capable of reproduction are required to use a reliable form of contraception throughout the study and for 1 month after study completion (vasectomized males of at least 6 months are exempt).

For Cohort 5\~8 (MAD):

Subjects with dermatological disorders of the scalp in the target region that may interfere with the application of the investigational drug-such as fungal or bacterial infections, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, folliculitis, scars, or scalp atrophy-or with skin pathology or conditions that could affect the evaluation of the investigational drug or require interfering therapy, including topical, systemic, or surgical treatments.
2. Genetic disorders affecting hair growth or patterns or requiring certain treatments.
3. History of hair weaves, non-breathable wigs, hair transplant or hair bonding that will interfere with applying the investigational drug or observing safety and tolerability.
