On March 10, a video titled “From Hermès bags to Gangnam must-haves: what’s in my bag by Go Jun Hee” was uploaded to his YouTube channel. During the video, Go Jun Hee revealed that although she owns several luxury bags, she now mainly uses a backpack in her daily life.
She said Chanel employees also once asked her where the bags she purchased from the brand went. “They ask me where the bags I bought from Chanel went,” he said, explaining that he rarely takes them with him now. When asked when she last used them, the actress joked: “I think I used them when I was younger and more energetic.”
Go Jun Hee also revisited her experience with “Cha-tech,” a term that refers to investing in Chanel items as their value increases over time. She revealed that although she used to own many luxury bags, she now only keeps around 12 after giving some away as gifts, selling others second-hand and sharing some with her mother.
The actress also recalled receiving her first luxury bag from her father. “It was a coming of age gift. My dad said he was going to buy me my first luxury bag, so I was really excited.” he said. At the time, she purchased the bag during a trip to Paris for filming, where it cost about 1.2 million won, about 300,000 won less than duty-free prices.
Go Jun Hee explained that most of the luxury bags she owns today were purchased when she was in her 20s, when prices generally ranged from 2 to 3 million won. “I didn’t buy them as an investment, but since I bought them early, they naturally became ‘Cha-tech’” he said with a laugh. “Even I couldn’t buy the same bag now.”
According to the actress, the bag originally purchased for 1.2 million won is now worth more than ten times its original price. Despite owning several luxury bags, Go Jun Hee said she now prefers backpacks after noticing how popular they were during a trip to Berlin. “Everyone in Berlin was carrying backpacks, even in select shops. People were cycling to work and it looked really cool. That’s when I realized that backpacks are actually very fashionable,” he said.
