What many didn’t realize at first was just how exclusive that status really is. Netizens quickly discovered that in order to qualify as a Chrome Hearts VIP, customers must spend a minimum of ₩100 million KRW (about $72,800 USD) every quarter. That means Ni-ki is potentially spending over ₩400 million KRW (about $291,000 USD) per year at the brand alone.

With his fashion sense, this doesn’t seem difficult. Fans found out that a recent buy of his cost $61,000 USD. Later, it was clarified that the necklace was probably around $30,000 USD, but for a single accessory, that is a hefty price.
The revelation left fans stunned. At just 19 years old, NI-KI is already racking up expenses that rival top-tier celebrities and fashion elites. Chrome Hearts is known for its high-end, edgy designs and celebrity clientele, with many of its pieces costing millions of won each. Fans have noted that NI-KI has often been seen sporting Chrome Hearts rings, hats, and clothing both on and off stage.

The news has sparked a wave of online reactions, with many expressing shock at the scale of his spending and praising his success at such a young age. Fans also noted that he was spotted shopping with the rest of the store closed.
