Singer Jeon Mi launched her own cosmetics line and gained fame.
Netizens criticized Jeon So Mi for her debut product, a special highlighter palette, being too expensive. The ‘GLYF’ highlighter, priced at 43,000 KRW (~32 USD), came in four colors.
The idol’s new cosmetic brand has garnered attention on several platforms, however many internet users think the highlighter palette is “overpriced.”
Many said they could get Dior or Chanel cosmetics if they spent more.
After receiving criticism, Jeon So Mi lowered the price to 34,400 KRW (~25.45 USD).
Korean netizens said, “I’m just curious about who her consumer target is,” “The case needs improvement,” “I think it would’ve been better if the palette had just one color each,” “If it’s too expensive then just don’t buy it, why do people have to curse at her?” “I guess no one bought it so she lowered the price,” “Well I consider that just her merchandise, not a cosmetic brand,” “I think it’s too much if you can’t cancel your order,” & “I guess she wanted to be like Kylie Jenner, Selina Gomez, or Ariana Grande.”
