Korean Stars’ Absurd Outfits At Latest High Profile Event Spark Ridicule

Some of the country’s most famous celebrities showed up at Burberry’s Legacy of Emotion exhibition, but it wasn’t their star power that caught attention. Instead, the outfits they wore became the subject of laughter online.

Despite Seoul hitting a sweltering 33°C during the day and only cooling to 22°C at night, many stars arrived in layered fall and winter looks. Heavy coats, scarves, and blazers dominated the photo call, leaving netizens wondering why they were dressed like it was the middle of winter.

NMIXX’s Sullyoon quickly went viral for her styling. She chose tailored gray pants tucked into tall black boots, layering a blue blazer over a crisp white shirt. While fashionable, the outfit looked far too hot for the weather.

Actress Shin Ye Eun went even further, turning heads in a full-length beige coat worn over a black turtleneck, finished with black boots. Fans couldn’t help but joke about how uncomfortable she must have been in the heat.

Actor Lee Jae Wook’s look stood out for all the wrong reasons. On top of a thick brown jacket, he wrapped himself in a heavy brown scarf, making his outfit one of the warmest of the night.

Park Sung Hoon continued the trend with a classic Burberry trench coat in brown tones, perfectly styled for fall… But wildly out of place on such a hot day.

The looks became a hot topic on Instiz, where netizens left blunt and funny reactions.

• “Shin Ye Eun looked so pretty, Sullyoon too was gorgeous today.”
• “It’s winter already lol.”
• “Hottttt LOOOL they must’ve been dying in that heat”
• “Lee Jae Wook must’ve been roasting…”
• “Wearing that outfit in this weather is seriously next level… Woo Jae was at Burberry, and Woo Seok was at House Nowhere, hehe.”

What was meant to be a showcase of Burberry’s fall fashion ended up as a reminder of just how unforgiving Seoul’s late summer heat can be.
