On June 7th, the “Sol Seon S Necklace” was introduced as an “Official MD” on the online pop-up store website. The pendant size of this white gold-plated necklace is listed as 16x25mm, and the total length is 470mm. The price is set at 69,000 won.

When purchasing the necklace, buyers will also receive a case and photo cards. The photo cards are provided as a set of two, featuring selfies of actors Byun Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon.

Netizens reacted to the news with comments such as “If you’re going to sell it, at least reduce the size“, “Who would buy this except for Seon-jae?“, “It’s like buying the photo cards and getting the necklace as a bonus“, “I saw it at the pop-up, and it looks better in person” and “The price is too high.”

In an interview conducted on May 28th, directors Yoon Jong-ho and Kim Tae-yeop and writer Lee Shi-eun discussed the episode 14 necklace. The necklace’s somewhat clunky design caused a “playful” controversy among viewers, saying it distracted viewers.

Director Yoon Jong-ho humorously said, “I officially apologize. Not everything can be perfect. There needs to be some flaws so we can show growth in the next work.” He added, “I received the design draft in advance, but I couldn’t gauge the size properly at the time, and it looked nice. There were even jokes about it looking like serial number chains. It was too late in the production to remake it. I didn’t expect it to become such an issue.
