Risabae really gave this to me as a gift. I’ve sent it to the eyeglass store to get a prescription for it. I will wear it when I meet Risabae again soon. Thank you for making me look like Cha Eunwoo? for a moment.

  • “He suits the look of no rim glasses!”
  • “No one likes his previous glasses, but I think there would be people who like the look of the new glasses. Looks so much better.”
  • “He looks like a doctor LOL.”
  • “It’s nice!”
  • “But it makes him look a bit older…I think the old style is better.”
  • “The new glasses really make you focus on his eyes.”
  • “I think his thick-rimmed glasses suit him better. He could wear the new style occasionally, but the old style makes him look younger and covers his face well.”
  • “The old style looks better, though?”
