We're no strangers to how Kdramas include sponsored products in their shows. After all, we've seen way too many shows that highlighted the Kopiko coffee candy in one of their dialogues. But we can't help but look for the brand, Authentique, in Marry My Husband. Let's talk about whether it's a real store or not.
This article contains spoilers. Feel free to skip it if you haven't watched the show yet.
What is Authentique in Marry My Husband?
For avid fans of Marry My Husband, the name "Authentique" should ring a bell. After all, it's the name of the brand where the characters purchase their jewelry from.
In one of the episodes, the store, Authentique, in Marry My Husband is where Jung Su Min (played by Song Ha-yoon) admires from outside the window before Park Min Hwan (played by Lee Yi-kyung) gives her a call.
In a later episode, Yoo Ji Hyuk (played by Na In-woo) decides to purchase a necklace for Kang Ji Won (played by Park Min-young) after seeing the store's ad in an in-flight magazine.
However, he later changes his mind about giving the necklace to Ji Won.
Another important scene from Marry My Husband that highlights the store is when Su Min purchased knock-off earrings that looked like the ones sold by the store. In the past life, this item is what led to Ji Won's embarrassment at their high school reunion.
But when Ji Won got the chance to change her life, she was able to borrow the real Authentique earrings. Meanwhile, Su Min still used a Class A knock-off of the earrings, which led to her getting called out for it.

Is It a Real Store in Korea? If Not, What Jewelry Store Do They Use?
So is Authentique in Marry My Husband a real store? While there is a real Authentique store in South Korea, they do not carry any jewelry from the K-drama. In fact, they don't carry any jewelry at all.
Instead, Authentique is a Korean brand that sells anti-aging skin care products.
But thanks to the snooping of one TikToker, she was able to find the store that made the earrings for the K-drama. It's actually called SYLK and they sell it for $2,800+.
This article, however, was able to find a cheaper version of the earrings, which sell for $29.
The main difference between the two stores is that SYLK sells real diamonds and 14K gold. Meanwhile, the other store only offers Sterling Silver and Cubic Zirconia.
Still, it would be great to own a pair of these earrings, especially if you're an avid fan of the K-drama.
