IVE’s Yujin Recreated An Iconic Marilyn Monroe Scene In The “After LIKE” MV—And Killed It
IVE‘s Yujin may have just referenced an iconic scene in film, and she looked fantastic the entire time it played out!
The “Eleven” girl group recently made a comeback with the fun disco song “After LIKE.” The accompanying music video was everything fans could have hoped for and more.
While all scenes were memorable, Yujin’s solo shot on the staircase was simply jaw-dropping.
Eagle-eyed fans were quick to see how similar she looked to legendary actress Marilyn Monroe in the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, specifically in the song “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend.”
They believe her tube dress was so similar to Monroe’s pink gown that it was done on purpose.

After making the connection, many praised Yujin for the incredible execution. Those who are fans of both women couldn’t believe what they were seeing, and for good reason! Two very different worlds—old Hollywood and fourth generation K-Pop—collided.
