Felix Brings Star Power to GENTLE MONSTER’s Tokyo Launch
When Stray Kids’ Felix shows up, chaos—and fashion—usually follow. The K-pop star recently made a surprise appearance at the grand opening of GENTLE MONSTER’s second Japanese flagship store in Tokyo’s swanky Ginza district, instantly turning the high-end eyewear launch into a fan-filled spectacle.
Fans Flock, Cameras Flash
Glasses on, fashion dialed up—Felix arrived in full style, sporting the brand’s new FURI-02 glasses from the 2025 BOLD collection. The sleek silver-metal oval frames with BOLD’s signature bridge detail had already gained buzz when Felix wore them earlier this month at Seoul’s Gimpo Airport. But seeing them in person? Instant trendsetting.
“Felix always knows how to steal the spotlight. Seeing him at GENTLE MONSTER was like watching a runway show in the middle of Ginza,” said one excited fan who queued just for a glimpse.
A Store That Feels More Like a Sci-Fi Art Gallery
Step into GENTLE MONSTER’s Ginza flagship and you’re no longer in Tokyo—you’re inside an art-meets-futurism dreamscape. Front and center? A towering humanoid sculpture perched on a vibrant red floor, facing off with a metallic praying mantis. Confused? That’s the point. The surreal combo is designed to challenge perception and upend the expected.
Further inside, beams of light hit a radiant star-shaped sculpture, creating an effect like early morning sunlight. The symbolism? All about inner glow, personality, and raw emotion—basically, the aesthetic of your Pinterest mood board come to life.
Eyewear Meets Existentialism
On the second floor, two kinetic sculptures dubbed the “Giant Head” installations blink slowly and gaze knowingly at each other. Each movement is loaded with meaning—emotion, human connection, and the kind of inner turmoil you’d expect from a moody indie film soundtrack.
But it’s not all artsy AI vibes. The store also offers an RX service that includes customized lenses and vision tests—because even avant-garde eyewear needs to be practical.
The Bigger Picture
This is GENTLE MONSTER’s second Tokyo store following its Aoyama spot, with another in Osaka’s Hankyu Umeda Main Store. Not in Japan? Don’t worry—global fans can shop online through the official GENTLE MONSTER website.
Final Take
From futuristic sculptures to Felix-approved frames, GENTLE MONSTER’s new Ginza location isn’t just an eyewear store—it’s a full sensory experience. And if Felix’s stylish seal of approval is anything to go by, these glasses are about to sell out faster than a Stray Kids world tour.
Would you visit a store just to feel like you’re in a sci-fi K-drama? Because honestly, same.
