RIIZE’s Wonbin Is Crowned “Sold-Out King” With A Trendy Winter Must-Have Item
The demand for winter fashion items has become a hot topic with the sudden change in season.
In particular, RIIZE’s Wonbin and Shotaro have garnered much attention with the balaclavas they wore upon returning to Korea.
The balaclava, an essential winter item that covers the head, ears, and neck to increase warmth, is also a popular fashion item.
The balaclava worn by the two members is from the brand RaJu, which is sold exclusively online through the W Concept platform.
Wonbin was seen wearing the oatmeal color, while Shotaro wore the dark gray color.
It was revealed that these items sold out like crazy, reporting a 480% increase in sales compared to last year. In just ten days, this product sold over ₩300 million KRW (about $214,000 USD).
It was also reported that the color Wonbin wore sold out on the day he was seen wearing the item, proving his “sold-out king” title.
The remaining colors are taking reservations and will be shipped out after November 25.
