GS25 launches 'Navy Gym' collection with South Korean Navy, Musinsa Standard

GS25, the convenience store chain operated by GS Retail, will begin selling a "Navy Gym" collection developed in collaboration with the South Korean Navy and Musinsa Standard on Wednesday, the 81st anniversary of the Navy's founding. The collection will be available at 221 GS25 Navy marts (military PX stores) and through the Musinsa online store.

The collaboration was launched to mark the Navy's 81st anniversary. GS25 said it aimed to translate the Navy's heritage into fashion items — giving service members a sense of belonging and practical utility while offering the general public a chance to connect with the Navy's history and values. Products feature the "R.O.K.N" logo, an abbreviation of the Navy's official English name, Republic of Korea Navy, alongside design elements such as "Sailor" and "Anchor" motifs.

The collection comprises six products: a training jacket at 62,910 won ($46), training T-shirts, graphic T-shirts, ringer T-shirts, sleeveless T-shirts and training shorts — all priced at 26,910 won except the sleeveless T-shirt, which retails at 17,910 won. Prices are set at 10 to 25 percent below regular retail to ease the financial burden on service members.

The training jacket uses a lightweight nylon fabric with a packable design for easy storage and portability. The functional and sleeveless T-shirts are made with moisture-wicking, quick-dry material. The training shorts use a two-way stretch fabric.

Meanwhile, GS Retail has operated Navy marts since 2010. The stores serve troops stationed on islands including Baengnyeongdo, Yeonpyeongdo, Ulleungdo and Deokjeokdo. They carry daily necessities such as cosmetics, detergent and tissue paper; military-use items including rubber rings and Taegukgi patches; and food products such as snacks, ramyun, beverages and frozen foods.
