Article: “People will think it’s fake” Reactions to Gucci’s ‘Hangeul logo’ release
Source: Money Today via Naver
1. [+501, -10] Did Gucci really release this? And the fact that it costs 3.2 million won when it looks like used clothes pulled out of a donation bin
2. [+234, -2] It doesn’t look weird because of the Hangeul but because of the font type they chose…
3. [+203, -3] I personally like Gucci but sometimes they release things that make me think they’re trying to test if there’s actually a psycho out there who would buy this. Balenciaga too.
4. [+75, -2] Your money has to be rotting away for you to consider buying this for over 3 million won
5. [+63, -5] I wouldn’t wear it even if you gave it to me for free
6. [+33, -0] Out of the many Hangeul fonts available, this was the best they could use? There are a lot that are free for commercial use so who designed this and why did no one stop them? Maybe foreigners won’t know the difference but I don’t think any Korean could wear this without feeling embarrassed.
7. [+23, -1] This feels like an experiment by Gucci to see how blinded by luxury Koreans are. I don’t think they cared at all about the design but rather testing to see if Koreans will actually get in line for a special edition release. They’re probably laughing as they prepare the lines as we speak…
8. [+19, -0] Can someone send their headquarters some decent fonts…
9. [+18, -1] Perhaps other countries might wear this design ㅎㅎㅎ
10. [+14, -0] Feels like they’re… testing us..

1. [+1,356, -10] Of all the fonts they chose, it’s the free Gothic one
2. [+1,337, -7] Who designed this ㅋ
3. [+1,207, -17] They must really think we’re idiots to fall for this ㅋ
4. [+56, -0] It won’t sell in Korea so take it elsewhere~
5. [+54, -0] I’m grateful that they used Hangeul… but did Gucci’s designer have their eyes closed when they designed this?
6. [+51, -3] This looks so embarrassing, I couldn’t wear it even for free
7. [+33, -0] A t-shirt that costs 890,000 won… is it made from gold threads ㅋㅋ
8. [+32, -3] The market font for Dongdaemun…. ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ
9. [+28, -0] It’s “exclusively being sold in Korea” ㅋㅋㅋ Gucci-ya, you’re better off selling this in any country but Korea because no one’s buying that here ㅋㅋㅋㅋ maybe foreigners will think the Hangeul is exotic enough to buy ㅋ
10. [+24, -0] They basically threw in every element of design that designers abhor. Feels like they produced this to piss us off.
