What Gentle Monster is known for

Gentle Monster is a Korean eyewear brand offering glasses and sunglasses, with a parent business founded in 2011. Fashion-led frames sit alongside more everyday designs, while art installations form part of the brand's retail approach. Individual stores have distinct settings and service listings, so a particular branch should be checked for fitting or repair arrangements.

Gentle Monster is a Korean eyewear brand whose parent business was founded in 2011 by Jay Oh and Kim Han-kook. Its range includes glasses and sunglasses, with fashion-led shapes forming part of its approach alongside more everyday designs. The company became associated with television and popular culture, including exposure through the series My Love From the Star in 2014.

The brand's retail spaces are another part of its identity, using art and installations around the eyewear display. That approach creates a reason to look at the store itself, as well as the frames being sold. It does not mean each location has the same installation or that an older presentation will remain in place.

The current online catalogue separates glasses from sunglasses and also offers tinted-lens choices within the sunglasses range. Start with the kind of eyewear you need, then compare shape and fit rather than choosing solely from an installation photograph. Individual stores have their own listings and services, so use the branch page when arranging a fitting or repair visit.
