Are kpop stars effay?
Also, Korean inspo thread. Last one had a good turnout.
>>11458995
I feel like most groups wear some pretty hilariously odd shit, so I don't know if I'd consider it /fa/ or just entertaining.
Case in point, Hyuna and the hilariously awkward choice to wear generic-ass NY sports gear on a roof, except for Mr. Detroit in the back
>>11458995
But then there's awesome work like Minah's "I am a woman too," which is genuinely good from an aesthetic perspective while still being k-poppy
>>11459005
I wouldn't call the girl groups fashionable for the most part. In videos and in real life.
>>11459010
c.f. D.Holic dressing like fucking NY Jewish princesses for some reason
>>11458995
so much YSL in one video
Hyuna is not effay
>>11459013
I agree. There's a sense that the music videos are much more about being cute/sexy/whatever and selling an image, and brands don't really factor into that. I suspect the mens' groups tend to care more because (1) their demographic cares more and (2) homosexuality hurrr.
Case in point: Rainbow. Pretty much zero /fa/ effort here, but it's cute so it works. Ditto with Rainbow Blaxx, except in the sexy direction.
>>11459028
I WILL FIGHT YOU
GD
>>11459036
Yeah most girl groups are just trying to look either cute or sexy, there isn't much thought about the fashion beyond that.
>>11459049
I have come to terms with the fact that I am manipulated and I'm okay with that
Also, like any good /fa/ thread, I'm going to continue to contribute dumb shit that's not truly fashionable and make threats against anyone who calls me out on it
Pictured: AOA not moving much because heels
Korea's answer to a zombie invasion: fuck up some camo, brand yourself, dance around a schoolbus
T-ara routinely dresses like someone Japanese had something to do with it, and I mean that in the most offensive way possible
>>11459063
>Also, like any good /fa/ thread, I'm going to continue to contribute dumb shit that's not truly fashionable and make threats against anyone who calls me out on it
Okay edgelord, didn't want this to be a shitty kpop girl group thread (that's what the mu general is for) so I'm outie. Enjoy your shitposting.
Republican pin because why not
>>11459077
Sarcasm escapes you.
the korean fashion industry is extremely depressing. they're really trying tho...so...can't be too hard on them I guess
>>11459121

>striving to look exactly the same as everyone else
such a fashionable culture
when will this meme end

What the fuck kinda westerners wear Hawaiian shirts with ripped black jeans?
GOT7 has Bambam and Jackson. They have some good fits
G-Dragon https://www.instagram.com/xxxibgdrgn/?hl=en
T.O.P is pretty fucking effay https://www.instagram.com/choi_seung_hyun_tttop/
as for girls I don't really know Sojin of Girls Day has some nice ones.
>>11459281
>Bambam
Yes
kpop fashion is the retarded, insecure cousin of hypebeast/SLP/kanye streetwear and its ten times as abhorent as it. all of them have zero pattern, texture, and silhouette coordination and care more about wearing trendy brands
>>11459128
>>11459385
Westerners aren't as bold. Just look at GD that tries every fucking hair style and color. Compared to what this generation looks up to we have what fucking Kanye
>>11459385
They actually care about what they wear and they look good. Idk why people are so offended by their fashion.

>>11459141
ever been to new york? lol these people aren't setting any trends
>>11460725
Not saying they're worldwide trend setters but they have a different style in SK (and more of an appreciation for fashion) and clothes look good on their bodies.
I feel like /fa/ needs their own kpop general /kpg/ anyone interested?
>>11461482
Yeah that'd be cool. kpg on mu is such a shithole.
how do i into kpop
whats a taeyang
>>11461892
A Taeyang is a man who can't seem to keep his shirt on
Bring masks to America
>>11462145
those things are comfy af I wish it would catch on
>>11459086
It's just re-hashed European minimalism with an almost 'cute' twist. A lot of Korean brands come across as slightly more childish versions of Acne and APC.
>>11461482
Honestly I'm surprised there isn't a dedicated thread for kpop and jfash already.
>>11459049
what hoodie is that?
>>11462290
Raf Simons new order hoodie
Suga is so effay
>>11462350
agreed, he's super underated
>>11462377
Underrated in a lot of ways
>>11461755
And a kpg on /fa/ would be any better?
>>11462408
The absence of kfappers makes a big difference
>>11462435
give it a few weeks and they'll either find out and start shitposting

How do I get kpop hair?
>>11460759
Yeah Koreans definitely have a level of appreciation for fashion. Their population on average is miles more /fa/ than that of the states.
>>11463480
bullshit
>>11463583
idk brah most of what I am saying is based off of what I have seen which I admit is limited. I'm not saying they are all necessarily /fa/ just that they put more effort into the looks than people in the states. If theres someone whos lived in S.Korea and the states please feel free to enlighten us.
Is Jessicabro here, last thread was really good.
>>11459128
your point was so wrong it isn't even funny.
Anyway, which korean artist has consistent good fits? Doesn't just have to be pop
>>11459049
GD has worn a lot of horrible shit but when it works it REALLY works. that Raf fit is god tier
>>11464025
>>11459141
Literally everyone these days lol it's a huge trend where do you even live
>>11460759
If by "different" you mean pop-commercialized then yeah sure. Korea is really good at taking something and making it the most "pop culture" they can, ex. watering down clothes to a representation of the form alone. That process / sensibility can be appreciated in itself, but yeah there aren't any new trends coming out of Korea. It's just all western stuff they take and simplify it for the masses.
>>11464067
>there aren't any new trends coming out of Korea
because colored hair is so trendy in Western fashion, right?
>>11464078
What a select few celebrities do isn't representative of the general population. I'm Korean and you /kpop/ lot always want to project your kpop fantasies onto the entire country / culture.
>>11464078
Also your post makes no sense, I was stating that Korea is not a major influencer in the global fashion zeitgeist, and you're saying that dyed hair is a trend exclusive / domestic to Korea is in agreement to my point. So idk what you're trying to say. Even if dyed hair was more prevalent in Korea than western culture (It's not), that would make it a trend that's staying within the country, not "coming out of".
>>11464087
>Are kpop stars effay?
I've been to Korea, yeah colored hair isn't that popular among the average Korean. But among male celebrities, it is way more prevalent. Outside of Zayn Malik, I can't really think of any Western male celebrity with an unnatural hair color (bleached blonde doesn't count).
>>11464098
>that would make it a trend that's staying within the country, not "coming out of".
It's been steadily gaining popularity in kpop. Will it spread overseas in the future? I dunno, but it's something innovative. Your initial claim was that Korean fashion is
>just all western stuff they take and simplify for the masses
which simply isn't true. even among average Korean men, BB cream and that bowlcut/undercut hairstyle that's so trendy are unique to Korea. you're acting like Koreans are desperate to look like clones of Westerners, when they make plenty of fashion choices that aren't from the West at all.
>>11464108
I'm talking about clothing and the fashion industry here, not "fashion" in terms of "popular style" including hair / beauty / cosmetics
I never said Koreans are consciously trying to copy western culture. You assuming that obviously shows that you're just a crossposting koreaboo, with no actual knowledge of fashion. The clothing and parallel trends within Korea are all derived from the cultural codes of western (sub)cultures, and are commodified to appeal to Korean design / aesthetic sensibilities (non-aggression, subdued). The consumers may not be consciously aware of the provenance, but it does all come from outside.
>they make plenty of fashion choices that aren't from the West at all.
Could I see some examples? Because I keep a close eye on Korean fashion and definitely have NOT seen any of this. I bet you I could connect it back to the west. Genuinely curious what you've seen that you think is truly grounded in Korean culture with no outside influences.
>>11464078
idk man, not the guy you were talking to but here in finland you can spot pink, green and fucking rainbow coloured hair all over the place
but then again we wuz mongols
>>11462145

I'd still rather look up to fucking Kanye then bunch of bandwagoning chinks.
>>11461482
Do we really need to make already struggling board even worse?
>>11466116
yes
k-pop is like seeing the shit parts of US culture through an oriental lense
>>11466106
Kanye is shit tho and so are most people in the US and if they are trying to be fashionable they just copy shit they see. Ive been to Korea and what I mostly saw was younger people dressed very nice they looked clean, they fucking take care of themselves.
And fucking western fashion isn't bold anymore
we don't make fashion anymore we just copy other shit at least if they copy shit they make more ways to wear and they try no things.
Koreans are just very bold with their clothing and its something you don't see in the states.
everything from asia is artificial as fuck, got no soul and has already been a success in the past. those chink twinks think they're like lou reed but they're just euro wannabe.
also, they catter to the anime/weaboo crowd so they can't be /fa/ de facto
>>11464025
Been busy. One of the Twices, Jihyo's been spotted wearing Black&Eclare. Koreans hated it, of course but Jessica is unstoppable.
>>11460369
i think you meant their stylists. also, why is it bad? because its gaudy, incoherent shit
>>11459475
thats the problem they're too hung up on catching the newest trend that they have zero identity.
also, westerners and probably japanese make almost all of the trends mate. you barely see this kshit faggots repping local brands. ripped jeans, oversized sweaters, skinny jeans, chelsea boots, etc.? all western shit.
they are 100% trend and everything that is wrong with fashion
>>11466515
>Blanc&Eclare
fix'd
>>11466482
>And fucking western fashion isn't bold anymore we don't make fashion anymore we just copy other shit at least if they copy shit they make more ways to wear and they try no things. Koreans are just very bold with their clothing and its something you don't see in the states.
I don't know where you live; but as a parisian I can tell you you're wrong. Every day I see fucking chinks taking photos of fashion ads in the subway; then they get back in their countries and steal everything.
>>11462435
who is that, google image search does nothing. he looks so great
>>11466697
EXO Kai
>>11466697
His name is Kai.
>itt buttmad insecure weebs hating on korean fashion for no legitimate reason
>>11466482
>western fashion isn't bold anymore
Again, you can't actually comment on fashion without knowing anything about it. You are talking about what people (presumably) in your area wear, without any knowledge of the global fashion industry and its designers, which happen to be like 99% outside of korea.
You gotta stop projecting your fantasies of a select few celebrities onto the country and its culture as a whole. Speaking as a whole, fashion and dress within Korean society is the FARTHEST thing from bold, 99.9% of the population dress the same.
>We don't make fashion anymore
Again, stop. What world are you living in? You are so painfully oblivious of ACTUAL fashion it's incredible. 100% of Korean fashion is derived from global influences, what "new" things are Koreans trying? Please show me an example.
>Koreans are just very bold with their clothing
Again, no. Just no. It's simply not true.
>something you don't see in the states
Again, stop making sweeping generalizations. Yeah, maybe if you live in a flyover state. Go to any big city and you will see fashion.
I'm Korean and you self-hating western koreaboos disgust me. Gtfo /fa/ and go back to /mu/ or /r9k/ or whatever shithole you came from.
>>11467386
>telling me to go back to where I came from
your probably a summerfag shut the fuck up and just leave the board.
>>11467777

I already want to kill myself so thanks for the encouragement :)
but ill just go watch my kpop and look at fashion
>>11467386
>Speaking as a whole, fashion and dress within Korean society is the FARTHEST thing from bold, 99.9% of the population dress the same.
This is a hilarious thing to say if you're American. Stop relying on three or four major cities to carry your entire sweats and t-shirt wearing population. Koreans overall put way more effort into their clothing (even if YOU think they're all clones) and this thread is mainly for kpop inspo which isn't anything like your average Western fashion so why don't you find one of the hundreds of other non-fashion relation threads on /fa/ to rant in to make better use of your time.
>>11466482
Kanye might be shit but doesn't change that your denial is fucking awful. Korea is from celebrities down to the average pleb just huge fucking artificial clusterfuck devouring trend after trend looking like fucking clones and you fucking sit there and dare to spew that shit when you obviously don't know shit. Like you fucking claim that people in west aren't bold which is either caused by you living in shithole or having your head in your fucking ass.
>we don't make fashion anymore we just copy other shit at least if they copy shit they make more ways to wear and they try no things.
and this is fucking gem. They copy west and here we in the west copy apparently "other shit" which I wonder where it comes from? It sure didn't come from Korea so we copy shit from fucking moon or some shit. Fucking worse than weebs defending their cartoons.
>>11468008
>This is a hilarious thing to say if you're American
Did you even read his response?
>>11468284
Did you read the rest of mine? Either way, fashion trickles down from the top designers even in America and the majority of those designers are European.
>>11462145
TERRORWAVE
>>11463633
>>11463480
The average korean could probably pass as an American alternative tumblr kid, or everyday /fa/ poster not bothered enough to try anything new
Loose and palewave up the ass, meme shoes everywhere, everything looks the part of being taken straight off general inspo threads
Everyone has the same haircut, and about half the girls have orange hair
t. American korean on vacation
>>11468347
yeah, basically the average korean dresses way better than the average american, but they all dress kinda the same so it becomes generic and boring

omega posts rarely but his fashion profile is absolutely fucked lmao
>>11469770
I dunno, some people think that he has, but to me his nose was always pretty flat looking. He was a cutie pre debut anyway.
In his grad pic he looks exactly the same to me..he's just thinner now.
>>11469793
His face is so 6/10
>>11469808
He's kind of beautiful.
>>11469808

>>11470933
Well they wear Gosha if that counts.
>>11470939
He could've done a much better job.
>>11470960
they wear anything that gives them the illusion of culture
>>11470973
I don't think they have such complex thoughts about it. Most idols just wear whatever their stylists give them. There is one here and there who's actually interested in fashion.
>>11470982
Must be shitty if they are genuinely into fashion but their companies have them on a tight leash as to what they wear. Most idols don't make enough to buy this stuff anyway.
>>11472164
It probably is but if an idol has an interest in fashion I'm pretty sure the styling department will hear what they have to say.
Not to mention that most of the times they don't even own the clothes they're wearing. It's just the company wardrobe. Like how SM idols are usually dressed in the most current stuff because the budget is so big.

>>11473168
Well, I'm saying this based on the reactions I've heard of. Though most of the time they're just saying she should quit music and "focus on her sunglasses" so maybe they do like B&E.
