Jujutsu Kaisen enthusiasts are ecstatic as renowned Korean rapper Hyunjin donned a costume resembling Yuji Itadori at the Met Gala in 2024.
Although it started off as a niche series, Jujutsu Kaisen’s popularity has been steadily rising and gaining global recognition. After achieving high sales in manga and viewership in Japan, the series went on to break a world record as the most sought-after animated series worldwide.
The franchise’s reach has extended to include celebrities, as confirmed by the series’ loyal fan base. The anime resurfaced in the public eye following its appearance at the 2024 Met Gala. Among the many A-list attendees and their stunning attire, Korean boy band Stray Kids made history as the first K-pop group to attend the prestigious event.
The singers made a statement with their outfits, which were all from fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger. Their black ensembles, reminiscent of the black jujutsu high uniforms worn by characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, caught the attention of the internet.
Nevertheless, it was Stray Kids’ lead vocalist Hyunjin who garnered the most focus. In contrast to his fellow members, his attire was accentuated by a red collar and a golden button adorning the front.
