In Korean weddings, guests will wear dark costumes because they believe that dressing simply is a way of showing respect to the bride and groom.
Even K-pop idols and famous celebrities follow this rule when going to a wedding to avoid taking the spotlight of the two main characters. Mostly, men will wear black suits, while female guests prefer black, beige or as dark tones as possible.
On today’s newspapers and social networking forums, the spotlight is put on the wedding of Park Shin Hye and Choi Tae Joon. In addition to the impressive ceremony space and the beauty of both main characters, the invited guests also caused a fever.
The wedding ceremony of Park Shin Hye and Choi Tae Joon gathered many famous stars of the Korean entertainment industry to attend. However, no matter how famous they are, they all follow the rules when attending the wedding. From famous idols like DO (EXO), Lee Hong Ki (FTIsland), Crush, Seolhyun (AOA) to actors like Kim Bum, Lee Min Ho, Nam Goong Min, all of them chose black and gray outfits, which are minimalistic but full of elegance and courtesy at the same time.
Another good example is at the wedding of Jisoo‘s brother (BLACKPINK) in 2019. Attending the big day of their loved ones, BLACKPINK members quickly attracted great attention because of their outstanding beauty.
Although they all wear simple black outfits with gentle makeup, the girls still make people flutter with their goddess-like beauty. Lisa cleverly combined a black suit with an elegant gray vest, Jennie and Jisoo chose a delicate black dress, and Rosé wore an elegant dark cardigan over a white shirt.
In May 2020, SNSD (except for Tiffany who was not in Korea) attended the wedding of their former manager. 7 female idols dressed in simple clothes with black and gray as the main colors but still looked gorgeous and youthful. At the wedding, the members happily took pictures together after not seeing each other for a long time. Besides, SNSD also sang the hit Kissing You to congratulate their ex-manager on his marriage.
At the wedding of Hyelim (Wonder Girls) in July 2020, members of TWICE were present. With top-notch visuals, simple black dresses were still enough for TWICE to look outstanding and beautiful.
Earlier in 2018, at the wedding ceremony of a JYP Entertainment staff, the moments of TWICE members in dark outfits singing to congratulate the wedding also created a stir among netizens.
EXO members often appeared together at wedding ceremonies in elegant tuxedos. They always picked out dark clothes to avoid attracting attention. If you are an EXO fan, you must still remember how handsome EXO members were at Chanyeol‘s sister’s wedding.
Having perfect visuals and eye-catching aura, many idols when wearing simple outfits still stand out and gain attention. Choosing minimalist and elegant outfits is meant to give the bride and groom the spotlight on their special day.
