Red Velvet Joy’s recent appearance has become the talk of the town. Following the balletcore trend, the idol wore an asymmetrical, body-hugging gray top and a pleated skirt with knee-high socks and a pair of sneakers. While the outfit gave off a youthful look, netizens believe it was not able to complement Joy’s well-known physique.
Netizens agree that, while the outfit is, indeed, balletcore-inspired, they believe that Joy would look better in another outfit. They claim that the cross-flapping design of her top, along with the bright shade of gray, drew attention to her belly area. Nonetheless, her twin tails and light makeup style achieved a desirable effect.
Several netizens’ comments:
- Is this the balletcore? It looks a bit different from other outfits that follow the trend;
- I think the look is fine on her;
- This outfit does not suit Joy, balletcore outfits usually suit those with a slender build.

In contrast, Wendy is another Red Velvet member who gains popularity for her style. Different from Joy’s mature image, Wendy likes a more playful image expressed through brightly colored items carefully mixed and matched. She prefers casual looks that can maintain a feeling of youthfulness and energy.
