EXO's D.O., also known as Do Kyung-soo, has sparked interest in specific eyewear models through his public appearances. His choice of glasses, particularly the MARKUS T D2 065 and HEISTER Bernie, has led to these frames gaining significant recognition and popularity among consumers in Korea. This trend highlights the influence of K-pop idols on fashion and lifestyle product choices.
The MARKUS T D2 065, a premium German brand established in 1998, is known for its 100% German-made, high-quality titanium frames that are allergy-free and exceptionally lightweight. D.O. wore this model on Discovery Channel's '잠적' in 2022, contributing to its hit status in Korea. The D2 065 features a classic Panto shape, patented screwless hinges, and dimensions of 48mm lens width and 23mm bridge. Separately, the HEISTER Bernie, a Korean house brand, offers a slim, clean-cut acetate frame at an accessible price point. D.O. was seen wearing the Bernie model in his 'I'm Home' music video, a frame designed with long and wide nose pads optimized for East Asian facial structures, available in colors like black, tortoise, and gray.
Local bloggers frequently praise the MARKUS T D2 065 for its "barely there" wearing comfort and minimalist design, often comparing its lightness to Lindberg Morten but at a more reasonable price. The HEISTER Bernie is recommended as an entry-level horn-rimmed option due to its sleek design and affordability, utilizing durable acetate material. Both models are highlighted for their versatility, suitability for daily wear, and appeal across genders, reflecting a preference for quality, comfort, and stylish yet understated eyewear.
