Kim Sook slips on Japan’s makeup-effect glasses: 'I look pretty'

Appearance of functional glasses that create a makeup effect

The most eye-catching product is functional glasses that implement a makeup effect. These glasses add color to the eye area by incorporating blush or eyeshadow effects into the lenses, compensating for an appearance that looks tired. While wearing the product herself, Kim Sook stated, "I don't look tired, and I look pretty."

These glasses feature a structure where the lenses can be attached or detached using magnets, and the color can be adjusted to match the user's face shape. The price is set in the 55,000 yen range, and an additional 3,300 yen is charged when selecting a desired lens. Custom production, including changing lens colors, takes approximately one week.

Introduction of UV-reactive glasses and sauna items

The eyewear category also included products where the lens color changes depending on the amount of UV light. Useful for outdoor activities or driving, these products come in various styles ranging from classic designs.

In addition to eyewear, lifestyle items reflecting local Japanese trends were introduced. Sauna-related items popular among the Japanese youth and products featuring 360-degree rotation caught the interest of Kim Sook and Yoo Ji-hyun. In particular, the introduced sauna items feature being moisture-resistant and capable of withstanding heat up to 120 degrees.
