BTS’s Jin Is On ARMYs’ Side About His Merch’s Pricing, Here’s ARMYs Priceless Reactions On Twitter
Earlier last week, it was announced that BTS would be releasing a collection of merchandise all specially designed and created by the members themselves.
#방탄소년단 이 각자의 취향을 담아 ARMY와 함께 사용하고 싶은 아이템들을 만들었습니다. 1년 여의 대장정 끝에 어떤 상품들이 탄생했을까요?

With this “Artist Made Collection,” each of the members would get a chance to market their merch lines as well as have a release date specific to their merch only.
Jin’s merch was a set of pajamas in two different designs, and a pillow! ARMYs might not have realized it before, but Jin had been promoting his own goods months prior to the official release!
Of course leading up to the release, ARMYs were already contemplating how exactly they were going to afford the new BTS merchandise and once the official prices for Jin’s pajamas and pillow were out…you could say it was a bit of a shock.
The pillow, ergonomically-designed, will retail for ₩69,000 KRW (about $58.00 USD), while the pajama sets were a whopping ₩119,000 KRW (about $100 USD) per set.
ARMYs weren’t the only ones shook at the price, as Jin himself took to Weverse to share his shock at the price tag.
“I did ask them to use a nice material for the pajamas..but even I was shocked at the price”
NO EVEN SEOKJIN SHOCKED ABOUT THE PRICE OF THE PJS😭

ARMYs were quick to recognize that Jin had nothing to do with the pricing of his merch, and took to Twitter to give their two cents. And of course, ARMYs’ reactions, although totally justified, gave us quite a chuckle!
