The 8 Most Shocking Dresses Worn To Red Carpets As Chosen By A News Outlet

And here’s what netizens have to say.

News outlet Newsnack published an articleon 8 of the most shocking dresses worn by actresses to various drama awards red carpets. Given that South Korea is still considered a rather conservative country when it comes to dressing, these dresses and celebrities made a huge splash in the news then.

1. Oh In Hye

Oh In Hye made a splash in 2011 at the Busan International Film Festival for her orange dress. Probably the first of its kind almost 10 years ago, Oh In Hye certainly got much attention for her bold choice.

Unfortunately, her star may have fizzled out as her last work was in the movie, The Plan, in 2014.

Han Se Ah’s representative work would be in the movie Love Affair in 2014, starring big names Yoo Ah In and Kim Hee Ae.

4. Ha Na Kyung

Ha Na Kyung kind of sunk into obscurity after her moment on the red carpet, with her last work being in 2014, in the movie Wrestling.

She made a hit in the 33th Blue Dragon Film Festival for her bold outfit choice – a black dress with a plunging neckline and a high slit up the front.

5. Kim So Yeon

A familiar face to many, Kim So Yeon starred in many hit dramas such as Mother of Mine and In Need of Romance 3.

The dress was big issue back then, 10 years ago, for its strategically placed cut-outs and low front.

6. Bae So Eun

Bae So Eun rocked this glimmering gold piece at the 2012 Busan Film Festival before the launch of her only piece of work, Doctor.

She was praised for her beautiful body line – ironic as she starred in a role that had her character seeking out full body plastic surgery to achieve beauty.

7. Kang Han Na

The name Kang Han Na may ring a bell to many of you – she acted in hit K-Drama, Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart, as the spoilt princess Yeon Hwa.

She wore this dress at the 2013 Busan Film Festival, stunning everyone with the hidden twist at the back. The dress’ modest high-neck had everyone fooled until they saw the extremely low mesh panel at the back.

8. No Su Ram

What was interesting here was that this rookie actress showed up to the 35th Blue Dragon Film Festival‘s red carpet without invitation!

| Newsnack

The bold move certainly gained her lots of exposure! She made headlines with her revealing black dress that only covered the important parts of her body.

Here’s what netizens had to say in 2020, a good five to ten years after these dresses made waves. Many questioned the fashion tastes of some of these actresses, while others commented on the revealing dress choices.

Not many were shocked by the dresses, perhaps a statement on how progressive society has gotten in terms of exposure and fashion! While many rookie actresses used the red carpets to make a splash back then, it seems that this tried-and-tested method didn’t go anywhere. Back in 2019, Love Catcher‘s Han Choim made headlines for her eye-catching dress.
