Korean Media Outlet Criticized Kim Yoo-jung And Lee Se-young’s Hanbok Fashion In Recent Dramas
Jeong Seok-hee, a columnist from the Korean media outlet EnterMedia, recently wrote an article title “Why didn’t they stop thinking about getting sponsored and dress Lee Se-young and Kim Yoo-jung in hanbok well?”
The article is as follows (some parts of the article have been deducted).
“SBS’s Friday-Saturday drama “My Demon” and MBC’s “The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract” have many similarities. Both are fantasy romance dramas with contract marriage as the background. crosses the past and the present, and the female protagonist has successfully transitioned from a child actress to an adult role.
Kim Yoo-jung and Lee Se-young share another similarity. Overall, they have a poor fashion sense. Kim Yoo-jeong’s character Do Do-hee in “My Demon” is the CEO of the company and an heiress of a conglomerate. However, the vibe and style of her clothes were far from those of chaebol. Lee Se-young’s “Park Yeon-woo” role is a hanbok designer. However, she did not come close to being a fashionable figure in the Joseon Dynasty. Although her brand became a huge success in the drama, viewers found it difficult to understand with it.
In Lee’s drama, was there a hanbok that made you think it was beautiful and elegant? Kim Yoo-jung also wore a hanbok as a giếng in the 12th episode of “My Demon”, but it was also disappointing because she did not look like a gisaeng. In that context, the same goes for Song Kang in “My Demon. Compared to similar roles of Gong Yoo in tvN’s “Goblin” and Lee Dong-wook in tvN’s “Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938”, isn’t there anything lacking? Apparently, the production cost was huge, so they should invest a lot in hanbok, especially in costumes.
Kim Yoo-jung and Lee Se-young, as well as Park Eun-bin of tvN’s “Castaway Diva,” have been doing well so far as child actresses and now lead actresses, but shouldn’t they their my own style and personality to take it to the next level? It means that they have to know how to make styles that fit their character. Just like Kim Hye-soo, Kim Hee-ae, Lee Young-ae, Kim Seo-hyung, Uhm Jung-ah. Actors Kim Jung-nan and Park Joon-geum even prepared their outfits separately at their own expense because the costumes provided by the production team were not good enough when they were given the roles of chaebols. Kim Yoo-jung is still in her 20s, but Lee Se-young and Park Eun-bin are in their 30s, so when it’s time to prepare, the company should also support them so that they can grow well as actresses. Actors must also make efforts in various ways, such as having various experiences and expanding their knowledge, while taking on a role.”
