so let's roll out the corkboard and the red string again ...
someone gave Bang Chan a Chrome Hearts a cross-themed jewellery piece about 3 or 4 years (??) ago. Since then, he's only taken it off when required to do so by stylists. And a lot of the time, if he can get away with it, he wears it during styled looks too.
If he has 7 pieces, and there's one from each skz member, then I.N didn't give him the original bracelet.
I'm not aware of him ever mentioning where the other pieces came from.
Question: who gave him the original crossball bracelet? Could be any of them. Could even be something he bought for himself. It's clear that he likes the texture and feel of it (he seems to have a high sensitivity to textures and materials) and wears it even when he's sleeping (and um not wearing anything else, thanks Christopher for that information).
Until, hmm, this year I think? the original bracelet was the only piece that appeared in public.
I think the cut-out cross earrings from the Young K interview appeared earliest, although it's possible that the drop earrings in the dominate tour opening got filmed earlier. Not birthday gifts then (Chan's birthday is early October), but could be gifts for some other reason.
The other 4 pieces have made their first appearances just in the last couple of days. The glasses were a birthday gift, the others might have been.
Changbin received his Chrome Hearts pendant from Chan on his birthday in August.
