The main product is expected to be a highlighter palette, influenced by Jeon’s passion for makeup that allows room for creativity.
This product reflects the GLYF brand ethos, endorsing diversity, individuality, empowerment, and artistic freedom. It renders itself more than a mere beauty staple; instead, it is a tool for self-expression. All upcoming products in the GLYF line will maintain this dedication to creativity and articulation.
However, the cost of the product, 43,000 won ($31.90) for four shades, has caused a rift among fans. Aligning with luxury brand prices, some fans express caution about high prices for a newly launched product. In contrast, others exhibit excitement about purchasing it, confident in Jeon’s dedication to quality.
Despite the prevailing divergent views, numerous enthusiasts eagerly await the product launch, putting their faith in Jeon’s reputation for high standards. Yet, there are those who remain hesitant, expressing doubts about the worthiness of such an investment in an unproven product. Regardless, this continues to drive interest towards the product, contributing to the build-up of anticipation ahead of the launch.
Jeon’s rise to fame started with her victory on the auditioning show “Produce 101” in 2016, leading to her joining the band I.O.I. She started her solo music career in 2019 with The Black Label, releasing hit albums like “DUMB DUMB” (2021) and “GAME PLAN” (2023).
