Korean Economic News reports about #Jin causing a 'Maple Story bread' crisis in convenience stores
A few days ago, Jin shared a cute story about him buying lots of 'Maple Story bread' pieces on his Instagram. He visited 15 convenience stores to buy 16 pieces! Like the thoughtful angel he is, Jin said that he was taking only 1-2 pieces from every store and leaving the rest for other customers. And, of course, Jin's dream was to get the rare 'Wonky the Fairy' sticker! By the way, "Maple Bread" immediately trended in Korea.
"Maple Bread" is trending at #3 in South Korea as Seokjin posts about it on Instagram and Weverse. 💕
After that, many Korean media outlets focused on economics, released articles on the topic of 'Maple Story bread,' sales soaring very high. As expected, Jin caused this product to sell out in South Korea! Fans are asking those who bought the remaining pieces: "Please, send 'Wonky the Fairy' sticker to Jin!"
Jin is a mega-popular star, especially in Korea, so anything he wears or uses gets sold out in minutes. It frequently helps some small businesses, who then express their gratitude to Jin for liking their products.

During the past six months, the Korean economic and financial media have made multiple reports on Jin's impact on the sales of certain products. For example, Jin's adorable gesture of gifting high-quality strawberries to his friends (some of them shared it on their personal accounts), gave a huge penetration rate increase to Durihyang strawberries, from 1% to 96%, making them the most popular fruit of 2021 in South Korea.
In January 2022, The Financial Times also reported that Jin is majorly influencing the oldest fashion group in South Korea - Samsung C&T Fashion Group. Jin, wearing his favorite basic clothes in public, gave a 378% increase in revenue for the group!
