Koreans Queue in -9°C Weather to Buy 3000 USD Ring Worn by Jennie’s

There’s probably no need to say much about Jennie’s “sold-out” ability. Even Hypebae magazine once described Jennie in high regards, saying that the female idol has the “Midas touch”, as everything she touches turns to gold.

Now, the craze surrounding Chanel’s Coco Crush ring, which is known as the “Jennie ring”, has once again proven Hypebae’s statement as true. 

Recently, Asiae reported that a long line of people queued outside the Chanel store at the Avenuel shopping center on January 5, under a -9°C Weather. 

The reason stems from Chanel’s decision to increase the prices of jewelry products starting from January 9. According to the news site, the most sought-after product is none other than 3000 USD ring won by Jennie, which is often called the “Jennie ring”.
