SEVENTEEN member Wonwoo's glasses are currently a topic of interest in Korea, driven by discussions around his military service status and the specific eyewear he is known to wear. His severe myopia, which led to his assignment as a public service worker, underscores the essential role glasses play in his daily life.
Wonwoo is serving as a public service worker from April 3, 2025, until January 2, 2027. This assignment is due to his vision problems, specifically severe myopia exceeding -9.00D, which means he cannot meet the required vision standards for active military duty and reportedly "cannot see anything without glasses." The Nine Accord Neon LEO glasses, popularized by both Wonwoo and actress Park Shin-hye, have achieved sales of 7,000 units. This model is a redesigned version of the Nicro ALICE, featuring an oval lens shape, horizontal line patterns on the bridge and endpiece, and a distinct bridge design. The glasses are lightweight at 10g, made from stainless steel, beta titanium, and acetate.
Local bloggers share that Wonwoo's association with the Nine Accord Neon LEO glasses makes them highly appealing, with one blogger expressing a personal inclination to purchase them after seeing his photos. Bloggers also highlight the subtle yet effective design updates from the previous Nicro ALICE model, particularly noting the improved bridge design, which contributes to the renewed popularity and distinctiveness of the Neon LEO model.
