CHAAKAN (착한구두) is a Korean women’s shoe label founded in 2019. The name translates as “kind shoes”, and the brand’s tagline is “STAY IN CHAAKAN: comfortable, and kind.” It runs stores in Hongdae and Myeongdong, which have become a regular stop for visitors to Seoul looking for affordable shoes. Most styles sit between ₩30,000 and ₩80,000, and the range follows the Korean season closely, from Mary Janes and platform loafers to tall boots.
What CHAAKAN is best known for is its idol following. Members of TWICE, LE SSERAFIM, Red Velvet and soloist SOMI have all been photographed in CHAAKAN shoes, and the styles below cost between about HK$211 and HK$395 at Musinsa Korea’s current prices. Below are five idol-worn pairs plus Petal, this autumn’s most talked-about biker boot. All six are sold on Musinsa’s Korean site, and most are currently reduced in Musinsa’s Chuseok sale.
Musinsa’s Korean site is mainly in Korean, so the simplest route is Buy&Ship proxy shopping: paste the product link, we place the order for you, and the parcel ships from our Korea warehouse to Hong Kong. One thing to note: opening Musinsa from Hong Kong redirects you to Musinsa Global, so to see the Korean site’s Chuseok prices and copy a Korean-site product link, switch on a Korean VPN first.

Where Is CHAAKAN Cheapest? Musinsa Korea’s Chuseok Prices Beat the Official Store
CHAAKAN’s official store sells at full price, with member coupons only. The same shoes are usually 10% to 20% cheaper on Musinsa’s Korean site. Musinsa’s 2026 Chuseok Big Sale (추석 빅세일) runs from 21 to 27 September, and most of the pairs below are included: the Petal boot is down from ₩75,900 to ₩68,310, and SOMI’s Schuyler slingback from ₩49,900 to ₩39,920. A follow-up Chuseok promotion runs from 28 September to 5 October; discounts may change, so check the product page before ordering.
Because Musinsa’s Korean site is entirely in Korean, Buy&Ship proxy shopping is the most direct option for most readers in Hong Kong. Paste the product link into a proxy-shopping order, choose your size and colour, and we place the order. When it reaches our Korea warehouse, international shipping is charged by actual weight, and every charge is shown clearly on your order page in local currency.
When you submit a proxy-shopping order, paste the Musinsa Korea link (www.musinsa.com), not a Musinsa Global link (global.musinsa.com), so the order is placed at the Korean site’s price.
Why You Need a Korean VPN to Browse Musinsa, and How to See the Chuseok Prices
Opening musinsa.com from Hong Kong automatically redirects you to Musinsa Global (global.musinsa.com). Global also stocks CHAAKAN, but shows prices in local currency at its own exchange rate. To see the Korean site’s won prices and Chuseok discounts, switch on a Korean VPN and then visit www.musinsa.com.
Both sites use the same product number. The Petal boot, for example, is global.musinsa.com/hk/products/7311173 on Global and www.musinsa.com/products/7311173 on the Korean site. After copying a link, check that it starts with www.musinsa.com before pasting it into your proxy-shopping order.
Why K-pop Idols Wear CHAAKAN: Affordable, Chunky and Easy to Style
CHAAKAN’s shoes share a few traits: chunky soles, round or square toes, Mary Jane straps and metal buckles. They work with long socks, short skirts or wide-leg jeans, which is exactly the off-stage look Korean girl groups have favoured in recent years. TWICE, LE SSERAFIM, SOMI and Red Velvet’s JOY have all been seen in CHAAKAN, and LE SSERAFIM’s Kim Chaewon and Hong Eunchae have worn other styles from the label (those two are not currently listed on Musinsa). With most idol-worn pairs priced modestly, getting the look costs far less than usual.
For autumn and winter, CHAAKAN’s focus is tall boots, and the standout is Petal, a multiway biker boot with a distressed finish, several detachable metal buckle straps and a shaft you can wear up or folded down. It fits this season’s slouchy biker trend and anchors an outfit with either a skirt or trousers.
5 CHAAKAN Pairs Worn by K-pop Idols, Plus This Autumn’s Biker Boot
Prices are from Musinsa’s Korean site on 23 September 2026. Local-currency figures are approximate and exclude the proxy-shopping service fee and shipping. Sizes generally run from 225 to 250 (Korean sizes are foot length in millimetres).
1. This autumn’s biker boot: Petal Multiway Long Boots
CHAAKAN’s lead boot for the season. A distressed faux-leather upper carries several metal buckle straps that can be removed, and the shaft can be worn pulled up or folded down, so one pair gives you several looks. The low heel makes it easy to walk in all day. Available in black, brown and charcoal, plus fleece-lined versions.
Chuseok price ₩68,310 (was ₩75,900) | about HK$395
2. As worn by TWICE’s MOMO: Deril Two-Way Platform Thong Boots
MOMO wore the black pair with loose shorts. A 6cm platform thong sandal comes with a detachable boot shaft: attach it for a statement boot, remove it for a buckled sandal you can keep wearing into next summer. Available in black and camel.
₩52,900 | about HK$306
3. As worn by LE SSERAFIM’s KAZUHA: Hachu Platform Loafer Heels
KAZUHA’s buckled platform loafer, with a lug sole and block heel that add height without sacrificing comfort. Paired with white long socks and shorts, it is the classic Korean “preppy” look this season. Available in black and brown.
Chuseok price ₩39,010 (was ₩45,900) | about HK$226
4. As worn by TWICE’s NAYEON: Arue Ribbon Platform Mary Jane Loafers
NAYEON’s pair has two small bows across the vamp: sweet without overdoing it, while the platform loafer shape keeps an edge. Works with long or short socks. It is the cheapest and lightest pair here and the most economical to ship on its own.
Chuseok price ₩36,460 (was ₩42,900) | about HK$211
5. As worn by SOMI: Schuyler Lace-Up Slingbacks
SOMI’s 5cm pointed slingback, in fabric with criss-cross laces, has more street edge than a typical pointed heel. SOMI wears it with low-rise jeans; with a short skirt and long socks it reads sweeter. Available in black, black denim and light-blue denim.
Chuseok price ₩39,920 (was ₩49,900) | about HK$231
6. As worn by Red Velvet’s JOY: Chocolat Mary Jane Sandal Heels
JOY was photographed on her way to work in the white version of this Mary Jane sandal. A diagonal vamp strap and slim ankle strap sit on a mid heel that suits everyday wear, and it works with sheer socks into autumn. Available in black, brown and white.
₩37,900 | about HK$219
Prices from Musinsa Korea on 23 September 2026, converted at HK$1 = about ₩173, excluding the proxy-shopping service fee and international shipping. Musinsa’s Chuseok sale ends on 27 September and prices may change afterwards; please check the product page.
What Does One Pair of CHAAKAN Cost to Ship to Hong Kong? The Arue Mary Janes as an Example
Taking NAYEON’s Arue Mary Janes, the lightest pair here at an estimated 2 lb with the box, the approximate total to proxy shop and ship to our Lai Chi Kok pickup point is:
| Item | Approx. amount |
|---|---|
| Product price (Chuseok price ₩36,460) | HK$210.8 |
| Musinsa domestic shipping in Korea (listed as free for this style) | HK$0 |
| Proxy-shopping service fee (estimated at 6%) | HK$12.7 |
| International shipping (2 lb × HK$24, Lai Chi Kok pickup point) | HK$48 |
| Total | About HK$271.5 |
The same pair costs HK$221.63 on Musinsa Global (Hong Kong), plus HK$80 shipping per order, about HK$301.6 in total, so proxy shopping a single light pair saves around HK$30. For tall boots or several pairs at once, Global’s per-order shipping is not necessarily more expensive, so compare the two totals before you order.
Buy&Ship Hong Kong’s Korea shipping starts at HK$24 per lb (Lai Chi Kok pickup point). Other Buy&Ship pickup points are HK$27 per lb, SF and Cainiao pickup points HK$32, post offices HK$34, and home delivery HK$32 per lb (plus HK$20 per order for residential and remote addresses). Latest rates are on our pricing page.
Shopping other Korean sites too? Buy&Ship can combine parcels from different sites and countries into one shipment to Hong Kong, charged on the combined weight, so shoes, Olive Young skincare and Korean fashion can travel together.
Before You Order CHAAKAN
Korean sizes are in millimetres
CHAAKAN sizes usually run from 225 to 250, which is foot length in millimetres; 235 is roughly EU 37. Each product page lists toe, heel and shaft measurements. For tall boots, check the calf circumference, and measure your own foot length and calf before ordering.
Chuseok prices are time-limited, and popular sizes sell out
Musinsa’s Chuseok sale ends on 27 September, and popular colours and sizes may sell out. Proxy-shopping orders are charged at the product price when the order is placed, so submit yours early.
One proxy-shopping order covers one website
Each proxy-shopping order can include items from one website only, up to 10 items. All six pairs here are on Musinsa, so they can go in the same order.
Check shipping restrictions first
All the shoes here are made of synthetic leather or fabric. If you choose a lined style, or are buying other Korean products at the same time, please check Buy&Ship’s shipping restrictions first.
CHAAKAN FAQ
Is CHAAKAN cheaper on its official store or on Musinsa?
A: Comparing prices on 23 September, CHAAKAN’s official store sells at full price, while Musinsa Korea’s Chuseok prices are generally 10% to 20% lower, with some styles at up to 40% off. The official store’s member benefits are mainly new-member coupons and points.
Musinsa Global also sells CHAAKAN. Where should I buy?
A: Each has its advantages. For a single lighter pair such as the Arue Mary Janes, proxy shopping costs about HK$272 including shipping, compared with about HK$302 on Global. For tall boots or several pairs, Global’s HK$80 per-order shipping may work out better. If you are also shopping other Korean sites, combining everything through Buy&Ship means shipping is charged on the total weight.

A: Yes. With Buy&Ship proxy shopping, you paste the Musinsa product link and fill in the size and colour, and we handle the rest, with every charge shown in local currency.
