Actress Kyung Soo-jin could not hide her bitterness after a hoodie she thought was a luxury item was confirmed to be counterfeit.
Recently, a video titled 'The controversial Gucci hoodie... the results are finally out!' was posted on the YouTube channel 'Kyung Soo-jin.'
In the video, Kyung Soo-jin visited the Korea Luxury Authentication Institute to verify whether the luxury hoodie she had bought for 30,000 won at a secondhand market in Siksadong was authentic. After Kyung Soo-jin revealed the luxury hoodie, many comments said the product was fake, so she submitted it for authentication herself to satisfy her curiosity.
Kyung Soo-jin arrived at the Korea Luxury Authentication Institute with a determined mindset, but because it was lunchtime she spent some time at a nearby bakery. Kyung Soo-jin said, "The Siksadong secondhand shopping street is famous so I went there and bought it; that even came up on YouTube. Comments say it's fake, but when I looked at it it didn't seem fake. Whether it's real or fake doesn't matter, but I was curious."
After some twists and turns, Kyung Soo-jin submitted the item for authentication and returned a week later to receive the results. Kyung Soo-jin said, "The results are finally out. I was busy and couldn't check the message properly, but I wanted to hear it in person. Whether it's real or fake isn't that important, but I'm curious."
The luxury authenticator said, "It was judged to be counterfeit. The report includes photos showing why it is counterfeit and the differences from the genuine product." The reason Kyung Soo-jin's hoodie was judged counterfeit was that the logo finish, main label, care label and accessory finishes differed. Kyung Soo-jin said, "It seemed fine when I came, but hearing it now leaves me a bit empty."
In particular, the authentication fee Kyung Soo-jin paid was 50,000 won, which was more expensive than the counterfeit hoodie she bought at the secondhand market (30,000 won), drawing laughs. Kyung Soo-jin said, "It was confirmed to be counterfeit, but I'll wear it confidently as if it were a luxury item."
