K-Pop Stars’ Fashion Choices Under Scrutiny

At major events, the fashion choices of Kbiz’s attractive men and women are highly anticipated by netizens. As they are considered the visual representatives, these stars are always supported by a team to ensure they are well-presented. Despite this, opinions may differ and even heartthrobs like Cha Eun Woo and Park Bo Gum are not immune to criticism for their outfits. One of Cha Eun Woo’s recent outfits at DIOR’s new show has sparked a lot of discussion.

Despite choosing a slightly more unconventional look, featuring a leather jacket and shorts with high black socks, Cha Eun Woo’s visuals still left a lasting impression. Although his outfit was flawless, fans expressed disappointment that the idol opted for a more conservative style for a Menswear show.

Here are a few remarks from Korean netizens:

“Are people still looking at the clothes? I’m only looking at his face.”
“This is the least attractive outfit I’ve seen Eun Woo wear.”
“This outfit makes Eun Woo look like he’s only 170 cm tall.”
“This look is refreshing compared to his usual style… if not, people would say Cha Eun Woo is monotonous.”
“It seems he looks a bit more tired than usual.”

During both of the latest DIOR events, Cha Eun Woo remained loyal to his signature monochrome look, sporting the brand’s latest “Vest with Tied Bow”collection. These designs have consistently allowed Cha Eun Woo to display the alluring charm that his fans always admire.

During a 2023 CELINE event, Park Bo Gum made his debut as a Global Ambassador and captured the spotlight as he walked alongside top stars V (BTS) and Lisa (BLACKPINK). The audience was mesmerized by the visual charisma of the CELINE trio, but some fans couldn’t help but notice a minor issue with Park Bo Gum’s outfit for the day.

Despite initially impressing with his leather jacket and tucked-in white shirt, Park Bo Gum’s full outfit was deemed mismatched by netizens due to the combination of short shorts and thick, high boots.

The shorts’ short length and long crotch caused netizens to laugh at the awkward appearance of the new Ambassador, CELINE.

Ever since Park Bo Gum switched back to wearing fitted skinny pants, he has once again exuded his handsome and masculine charm. It’s clear that his slim legs were made for this style, unlike the bold choices made by CELINE.
