In the ongoing hit drama, "Start-Up," Nam Joo Hyuk portrays the character of Samsan tech founder Nam Do San. However, his business has not been doing well in the past years, so he has been feeling down and disappointed.
When he met Seo Dal Mi (Suzy), he was asked to disguise himself as a successful CEO, and often has to borrow expensive clothes from Han Ji Pyeong (Kim Seon Ho) to impress the leading lady. With that being said, viewers are naturally led to believe that our leading man is, well, poor.
However, would you believe if we told you that Nam Do San (Nam Joo Hyuk) actually has quite a lavish wardrobe?
As we looked into it, Nam Joo Hyuk's simple outfits in "Start-Up" actually cost a hefty price! Nam Do San's style is pretty laidback and comfortable, from button-downs (Studio Tomboy) and denim jackets (Levi's). But it turns out that he also wore designer clothes. Do San's wardrobe boasts of attention-grabbing pieces from luxury brands like Dior, Isabel Marant, and Ralph Lauren, which he often pairs with simple jeans or a plain white tee!
Check out the simple yet luxurious and expensive designer clothes Do San wore on the show, and be surprised with its price tags!

Do you remember the scene where Nam Do San and Seo Dal Mi unexpectedly bumped into each other inside a bookstore?
