“Made Him Look Shorter” — SEVENTEEN Mingyu’s Fashion Show Look Triggers Harsh Criticism
It is common knowledge that SEVENTEEN‘s Mingyu has visuals that rival actual models; however, according to fans, even his visuals couldn’t save his recent look.
Recently, Mingyu headed to Paris to appear at DIOR‘s fashion week event, after being named an ambassador for the brand last year. The idols’ look leaned simpler, and featured neutral colors, a preview of what was coming.
The event occurred on June 27, with Mingyu spotted arriving at the show. The idol served his face as usual, with his hair and makeup styling highlighting his gorgeous visuals, as fans praised.

While idol’s fashion show appearances have often been criticized for bold looks, going too plain also has a similar effect. Most of all, it seems fans want Mingyu to wear something that accents his visuals, rather than taking away from them.
