Gong Yoo wore two New Balance Flying Down jackets. Which name should you search?
There are two answers to “Which puffer is Gong Yoo wearing?” in his first New Balance ambassador campaign. The October 2024 shoot featured both the UNI Flying Short Goose Down and the Flying Short Hyper Goose Down. If you want the jacket in a particular photograph, save that frame before comparing listings.
Two names in the original Korean credits
The Korean names are ‘UNI 플라잉 숏 구스 다운’ and ‘플라잉 숏 하이퍼 구스 다운’. The word to look for on the second tag is 하이퍼, or Hyper. Both names contain “short” and “goose down”; neither of those details settles which version you have found.

What to ask a seller
A seller can often send a photograph of the sewn-in style label even when the original hangtag is gone. Match it with the listing title and ask for garment measurements with the jacket zipped. Chest width measured flat and back length from the collar seam are more useful than the seller’s height alone.
Why the year matters
Gong Yoo’s campaign was released on October 18, 2024. A current listing may use a similar English name for a later season. Include the year when searching for the original shoot, especially if an exact color or pocket shape caught your eye. For a secondhand jacket, check the cuffs and hem in recent photos of the actual garment.
